Armand Psenny
Armand Psenny (* 1929 ) is a French film editor .
Life
Armand Psenny worked as an editor for French film from the late 1950s . The first major production in which he took care of the film editing was Jean-Pierre Mocky's drama Hungry for Love (1959). Commissions for rather insignificant films followed. It was not until 1970 that Psenny was allowed to demonstrate his talent as an editor in a large-scale production of the Louis de Funès film Baldwin, the horror of Saint-Tropez . Psenny was also responsible for editing the comedy film Camouflage - Hasch mich, ich bin der Killer (1971), also with Funès in the lead role.
After several films by director Jean Girault , Psenny's long-term collaboration with Bertrand Tavernier began in 1974 . Their first joint production was the crime film Der Uhrmacher von St. Paul (1974) with Philippe Noiret and Jean Rochefort . For Tavernier's science fiction film Death Watch (1980) with Romy Schneider and Harvey Keitel , Psenny received his first of a total of six nominations for the César in the category of best editing . However, he always came away empty-handed. Most recently, Psenny was active as an editor for the war film Diên Biên Phú - Symphony of Downfall (1992).
