Rene-Lucien Chomette Rene Clair (Rene - Lucien Chaumet - his real name) was born on November 11, 1898 in France, in Paris. He participated in the First World War, after which he worked as a journalist and film critic. As an actor, Rene Clair made his film debut in the film – the ballet L. Fuller “The Line of Life” (1920). The first work of Clare-director was the fantastic comedy Paris fell asleep (1924), and in this film, as in many subsequent, he acted as a screenwriter. On fabulous - fantastic plots are built films "Imaginary Journey" and "Ghosts of the Moulin Rouge". The best picture of the silent period in Rene Clair was the comedy Straw Hat (1927), thanks to which he received worldwide fame. His films of the 30s, already sound, are rightfully considered masterpieces of cinema: “Under the roofs of Paris” (1930), “A Million” (1931) and “Freedom to us!” (1931). But truly one of the pinnacles of Rene Clair’s work can be called the dramatic comedy “Great Maneuvers”, the main role in which Gerard Philip perfectly performed. Among the successful works of the director are the films “Beauty of the Devil”, “Intolerance”, “I Married a Witch”.
