Jean Ravel
Jean Ravel (born August 9, 1927 , † 1990 ) was a French film editor .
Life
From 1952 Jean Ravel worked in the editing department for French film . The first major film production he was entrusted with was Girls Disappear (1955) with Jean Gabin in the lead role. In 1971, Ravel was again responsible for editing a Gabin film as editor of the drama The Cat . A year later Ravel worked with director Edward Dmytryk on his thriller Bluebeard (1972), in which Richard Burton played the leading role. This was followed by the drama Le Train - Just a touch of happiness (1973) with Jean-Louis Trintignant and Romy Schneider .
For the crime film Adieu, Bulle by director Pierre Granier-Deferre , with whom he worked particularly frequently, Ravel received a nomination for the César film award, which was first awarded in 1976, in the Best Editing category . However, Ravel could not prevail against the editor Geneviève Winding . In the course of his career, Ravel was nominated three more times for the César, but always came away empty-handed. The action film Der Greifer (1976) with Jean-Paul Belmondo is also one of Ravel's works as editor. In 1990 it was used for the last time in a film; he died that same year.
