Biography
Claude Lelouch is a French director, known as creative fertility and abundance of love romance. The director of criticism refers to a new wave, however, using innovative colleagues, the refusal of filming in the pavilions and a rigid scenario, he never forgot about the tastes of the mass spectator.Childhood and youth
Claude was born in the last October day of 1937 in the capital of France. In the biography of Leluca's family played a big role.
Father of the future director, a small merchant Simon, saw a nice girl and followed her. Pretty woman who worked for the seamstress tried to hide and went to the movies. The guy acquired a ticket to the next place. Ironically, the actors Fred Aster and Ginger Rogers, who played in the film, at which the parents of Claude first took up their hands, after 32 years awarded the Association of Oscar for the painting "Man and Woman".
From the love of the Father of the Future Cinematographer, the Algerian Jew, the mother, nee Charlotte Abeyar, from Catholicism moved to Judaism. For reasons of the security of Lelosh, they moved to the homeland of the head of the family - to North Africa.

Madame Lelus turned for help to the cousin of her husband, but a relative turned out to be a recruited agent of the Gestapo. To save the Son, a woman sometimes gave their own decorations to officials. Often Claude had to hide in cinemas. The boy has repeatedly watched each of the sown films and fell in love with the cinema.
To reunite with his wife and son, Simon Lelouch at the first opportunity joined the army of General Jean de Lattra de Tassigny. The kiss of the parents at the meeting at the station in Marseille Claude remembered for life and tried to reproduce in the final stage of "Men and Women" in the final scene. After the war, Simon has established a business for the manufacture of sofa pillows, and Charlotte focused on the household.
At school, Claude studied badly, the only interest of the young man was watching movies. At 17, Lelouch Jr. completed education: he hit the anti-Semite teacher chair. Simon, who called Claude to the conversation, told his son, which deprives his content and pocket money, and as a farewell gift handed over to the kinocamera. For the film, the guy earned himself with the help of fine speculation.
Personal life
Unlike many cinematographers, Lelouch never smoked, did not try drugs and did not abuse alcohol. The second passion of the Frenchman after the movie is women. The director has seven children, and the youngest daughter of Stella almost 30 years of senior Son Simon. Biographical directories usually report on three or four Claude wives. But the director himself says that his spouse has five.The fact is that from 19 to 28 years old, Lelouch, who has lost its innocence in adolescence with the Parisian prostitute, lived in an actual marriage with the artist Zhanin Manyan. Not yet completing the relationship with the first spouse, the director twisted the novel with her colleague Christine Koshe, who became pregnant with the firstborn Claude.

But two women at the same time Claude did not limit himself and fell in love with the leading role Annie Girardo in the artist.
Official marriage director concluded three times - with Christine Koshe, Marie-Sophie Pier, held in seven Claud films, including in "Beautiful History," and presented him with three children, and Alessandra Martinez, who gave birth to Stella. It is curious that the father of the second child Alessandra, Hugo's son, actor Siril Decur for 20 years younger Martinez and 46 years old younger than Lelusha. Actress Evelin Bui and Swedish mannequin named Gunilla gave birth to children from Claude, not marrying.
The director argues that, changing all his companions, he tried to not offend them, the weddings and divorces met with the same joy, and the siblings became a friend when they entered into adolescent age. In 2005, the Vagribus publisher published the translation of the autobiographical book of Lelus "Baloven of Fate."
Films
Debut paintings Lelusch - Documentary tapes about prostitutes and crime of Paris - rejected by most television channels. The young man switched to shooting sports reports.
Soon by Claude, luck smiled. Canadian television offered $ 10 thousand for a documentary about the Soviet Union. To get to the USSR, a beginner cinematographer joined the Communist Party of France, and the footage was able to transport themselves through the Soviet border in a jar from under black caviar. Remuneration for the tape "When the curtain rises" was the first serious Lelus fee.
Subsequently, in the filmography of the director, there were also documentary tapes (including the "Jean-Paul Belmondo" about the pets of the director - the actor, subsequently withdrawn in his "Balovna" and "rejected") and short films (the most famous picture "Date", lasting less than nine minutes). The spectators are loved by the films Lelus "Edith and Marseille" (about Love Edith Piaf and Boxer Marseille Serdan "), Detective" Railway Roman "from Fanny Ardan and a criminal melodrama" And now, ladies and gentlemen ... "With Jeremy Irons and Patricia Kaas in Main roles.
However, Claude's business card - the picture "Man and a woman", awarded in 1966 by the Gran-Cannes Festival, whose decoration was the music of Francis Leia. After two decades, the director returned to the history of the love of Anna Gauthier and Jean-Louis, removing the "man and a woman: twenty years later," which is still unsuccessful. In 2019, the 3rd part of the epic was the 3rd part of the festival in Cannes - the film "The best years of life." In the "instagram" director appeared both frames with filming and photos from the ceremony.
The main roles in the picture, as in the youth, were performed by Jean-Louis Trentinyang and Anuk Eme. The daughter of the main character is now, as in the mid-1960s of the 20th century, Suad Amidu played, and the image of the Son of the Main Character again created Antoine Sir. It is curious that in the 2nd part of the trilogy, the role of Francoise was not Amidu, and one of the girlfriends director Evelin Bui, who gave a man's daughter Salome.
According to the story, Trentinyana suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and the only memory that is preserved in the soul of men is love with heroine Eme. The director included a parable in memory of the actress Anni Giraroto, except for the film "To live to live," in his ribbons, like "leave, return" and "rejected".
Artist, like its Soviet colleague, Lyubov, Bladjan, could not remember friends and relatives at the end of his life. The only person who recognized Girardo was Lelouch. According to the director, he became the only beloved Annie, who did not raise her hand on her.
Claude Lelus now
Because of the pandemic of coronavirus infection, Lelush suspended the shooting of the 50th paintings in his filmography "Love is better than life." According to the director, the director of the tape with Monica Bellucci and Christopher Lambert was supposed to be filmed in the spring of 2020 during the jazz cruise at the sea. It was assumed that the passengers of the liner would become participants in the shooting process. The epidemiological situation and quarantine measures have shifted a walkway and shooting at the end of September - the beginning of October 2020.In an interview with the newspaper Izvestia in April 2020, Lelouch expressed hope for the combination of people and countries in the fight against the pandemic. To return to the cinemas of the audience, accustomed to the time of self-insulation to watch movies at home, Claude recommended removing blockbusters intended for the large screen, such as "worn by the wind".
