Henri-Georges Clouzot

Henri-Georges Clouzot was born on Nov 20, 1907 in France. Henri-Georges Clouzot's big-screen debut came with Ma cousine de Varsovie directed by Carmine Gallone in 1931. Henri-Georges Clouzot is known for La Vérité directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, Brigitte Bardot stars as Dominique Marceau and Paul Meurisse as Maître Éparvier. Henri-Georges Clouzot has got 12 awards and 4 nominations so far. The most recent award Henri-Georges Clouzot achieved is Mar del Plata Film Festival. The upcoming new movie Henri-Georges Clouzot plays is Diabolique which will be released on Mar 22, 1996.

Beginning his film career as a screenwriter, Henri-Georges Clouzot switched over to directing and in 1943 had the distinction of having his film Le corbeau (1943) banned by both the German forces occupying France and the Free French forces fighting them, but for different reasons. He shot to international fame with Le salaire de la peur (1953) and consolidated that success with Les diaboliques (1955), but continuous ill health caused large gaps in his output, and several projects had to be abandoned (though one, L'enfer (1994), was subsequently filmed by Claude Chabrol). His films are typically relentless suspense thrillers, similar to Alfred Hitchcock's but with far less light relief.
