A filmmaker whose work exhibits a wide range of styles and
approaches, Louis Malle (1932-1995) was the only French director of
his generation to enjoy a significant career in both France and the
United States. Although Malle began his career alongside members of
the French New Wave like Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and
Claude Chabrol, he never associated himself with that group. Malle
is perhaps best known for his willingness to take on such difficult
or controversial topics as suicide, incest, child prostitution, and
collaboration with the Nazis during World War II. His filmography
includes narrative films like Zazie dans le Metro, Murmur of the
Heart, Atlantic City, My Dinner with Andre, and Au revoir les
enfants, as well as several major documentaries. In the late 1970s,
Malle moved to the United States, where he worked primarily outside
of the Hollywood studio system. The films of his American period
display his keen outsider's eye, which allowed him to observe
diverse aspects of American life in settings that ranged from
turn-of-the-century New Orleans to present-day Atlantic City and
the Texas Gulf Coast. Louis Malle: Interviews covers the entirety
of Malle's career and features seventeen interviews, the majority
of which are translated into English here for the first time. As
the collection demonstrates, Malle was an extremely intelligent and
articulate filmmaker who thought deeply about his own choices as a
director, the ideological implications of those choices, and the
often-controversial themes treated in his films. The interviews
address such topics as Malle's approach to casting and directing
actors, his attitude toward provocative subject matter and
censorship, his understanding of the relationship between
documentary and fiction film, and the differences between the film
industries in France and the US. Malle also discusses his
sometimes-challenging work with such actors as Brigitte Bardot,
Pierre Blaise, and Brooke Shields, and sheds new light on the
making of his films.
