Marc Frédérix
Marc Frédérix (born February 12, 1919 in Paris ; † June 9, 2004 there ) was a French film architect .
Live and act
Born in Paris, he joined film shortly after the end of the war in 1945 and, after completing his training as an assistant to the renowned film architect Jean d'Eaubonne, began to gain his first practical experience (with the melodrama The Blind Angel , 1946). For many decades, Frédérix remained active as an assistant set designer - even at a time when he had long since advanced to become chief architect - and in this subordinate role he was also involved in the creation of the film structures for famous film classics such as Max Ophüls ' Der Reigen , Jacques Becker's Goldhelm , Louis Malles Zazie and the James Bond film Moonraker - involved in top secret .
Since his collaboration in the implementation of the building designs for the large-scale war film Brennt Paris? (1965), where he had received an Oscar nomination together with the lead colleagues Willy Holt (his boss in another war film, Der Zug ) and Pierre Guffroy , Frédérix was also allowed to design his own sets. He was also able to land orders for international films such as The Sergeant, So Travel and So We Love , Bobby Deerfield , On the Edge of the Abyss and American Dreamer . These works were mainly English-language productions that were created on the European mainland. In 1984 Marc Frédérix retired from film construction.
