Life

With the director Jacques Demy , with whom she was friends since childhood, Moreau attended the École des Beaux Arts in Nantes , where she met her future husband, the production designer Bernard Evein . At the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) she completed a degree in costume design. As a costume designer, Moreau first gained experience in the theater and at the opera, before she also found employment in film from 1954. In her first film production, she designed costumes for Fernandel as Ali Baba in the Jacques Becker comedy film of the same name . Another Fernandel comedy followed in 1956 with The Great Seducer . In 1961 she designed costumes for Jean-Luc Godard's A Woman is a Woman with Anna Karina in the role of a striptease dancer. Three years later she entrusted Jacques Demy with the costume design of his film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg , for which her husband Bernard Evein created the film structures. In the same year it was used in the US production Leih mir dein Mann , in which Jack Lemmon and Romy Schneider played the leading roles. In 1967, Moreau worked again with Demy and Evein for The Girls of Rochefort . Directed by John Frankenheimer , she was again involved in a US production in the film Die Steppenreiter (1971).

With the period film When the Festival Begins… Moreau began working in many ways with director Bertrand Tavernier in 1975 . Their joint works include, among others, The Judge and the Murderer (1976), Der Saustall (1979), Life and Nothing Else (1989) and D'Artagnan's Daughter (1994), in each of which Philippe Noiret played a leading role. With Tavernier's The Passion of Beatrice , Moreau was able to win a César in the category Best Costumes in 1987 . Over the years, Moreau has also worked for directors such as Philippe de Broca , Claude Berri , Alain Resnais and Henri Verneuil . For her last film, the war film Captain Conan and the Wolves of War from 1996, for which she received a César nomination, Tavernier was again responsible for directing.

With Bernard Evein, whom she married in 1963 and who died in 2006, she has two daughters, Agnès , who is also a costume designer, and Sophie.
