Luc Moullet
Luc Moullet (born October 14, 1937 in Paris ) is a French film director , media studies professor and film critic .
Life
He has been writing film reviews for Les Cahiers du cinéma since the early 1960s and made his first short film in 1960. Since then he has directed 33 short and feature films. Most of them had to be implemented with extremely low budgets. The inevitable Arte Povera aesthetic has not harmed the self-deprecating joke of his film work. The French director Jean-Marie Straub has called Moullet “the only legitimate heir to Jacques Tati and Luis Buñuel ”.
Moullet is a professor emeritus at the Paris film school La fémis . Before that he taught at the Sorbonne Nouvelle. The filmmaker Moullet has also acted as an actor and screenwriter for many of his and other films . At the beginning of 2007 a Collected Works box with four DVDs was released in France , which makes Moullet's most important films accessible. Since hardly any of his works had found a German distributor for lack of the original with subtitle versions , German cineastes can often discover them for the first time.
