Jacques Demy (Francia, 1931-1990)

Abstract

A lover of cinema: that is the evidence in french director Jacques Demy’s work. Destined by family order to devote to manual labor, from the beginning Demyshowed sensitivity to art and that was reflected in a series of films. His best pictures have an approach to the aesthetics of classic Hollywood. Of course, we referto his many musical films. The alliance he established with Agnès Varda was not a limit to set up his own universe away from nouvelle vague movement.
