Life

Isnard had started as a cameraman for the domestic armed forces after the First World War and went to the cinema in the early 1920s, where he initially served as camera assistant to cameraman Vladimir (“Phroso”, “Aux jardins de Murcie”, “Les deux gosses”). At the end of the silent film era, Isnard was allowed to shoot films under his own responsibility. In around three decades of sound film, the native Parisian was only rarely involved in high-profile productions, after all he was behind the camera in A-films like Mayerling , Life Belongs to Us and The Count of Monte-Christo , but was mostly subordinate to a more important chief photographer.

The directors with whom he worked in his career included various no-names as well as industry giants such as Anatole Litvak , Jean Renoir , Kurt Bernhardt , Yves Allégret and Claude Autant-Lara , with whom he worked on his last film extensive adaptation of the “ Count of Monte Christo ”, cooperated. At the age of 60, Jean Isnard withdrew from the cinema. After his last job as a camera operator, an episode of a television series, the cameraman ended his professional career.
