As a film fan, friend of Jean Eustache and Jean-André Fieschi , he made his debut in 1963 in the film Judex by Georges Franju . He photographed among other things, on the set of The Nun by Jacques Rivette , the Trans-Europ-Express by Alain Robbe-Grillet , The Wild Child of François Truffaut and My little lover of Jean Eustache. With the Leica around his neck, Pierre Zucca was known for secretly and discreetly (in the words of Claude Chabrol ) doing his work without interfering with the film set. Zucca directed in addition to his photographic activity. His first long film was Vincent Put the Donkey on One Meadow (and Walked to the Other) (1976). Fabrice Luchini got his first major role in this film (as Vincent). The film Roberte (1979) was made in collaboration with Pierre Klossowski , with whom Zucca was close friends.
