Alain René is a French screenwriter, director, cameraman and editor.
At the age of fourteen, Alain shot the debut amateur film “Fantomas”, but only at the age of twenty chose cinema as his own profession. He studied acting at Simon's courses and studied at the director's courses at the French Film School.
Alain’s career as a director began with the release of the short film Van Gogh in 1948, which became his debut commercial work. In 1949, he shot the film “Guernica” on the canvas of Picasso. In the movie “Statues also die”, the director told about African art, but the tape was banned because it sounded anti-colonial motifs.
Rene's reputation grew with each short film and reached the top after the release of the tape.
"Night and fog" The story of the Nazi concentration camps. Here revealed his penchant for memories. Among his documentary films were “Gauguin”, “All the Memory of the World”, “The Secret of the Fifteenth Workshop” and “Song of Styrene”.
The theme acquired the status of a deep, and the style became more complex in the debut feature film.
Hiroshima, my love In 1959. Having decided to adopt Proust’s literature and Bergson’s philosophy, Alain moved away from the standard concepts, combining the present, the future and the past. In his second painting “Last year in Marienbad”, he created a canvas in which there was no storyline, and the meaning was completely unclear.
An outstanding master of form, René probably proved to be the single most significant director to emerge from the ranks of the French New Wave. Despite always collaborating with writers in each of his films, critics considered him a true creator of his masterpieces. In 1976, the director was awarded the Grand Prize of French cinema.
