51 films, one obsession: love. The man who turned his trauma into romance finally talks.
51 films to date, a unique body of work whose common thread is the search for love: this is the cinema of Claude Lelouch. As a Jewish child hunted during the war, the filmmaker offers his very personal vision of betrayal, scoundrels, good people, travel, parent-child relationships, and the ghosts of his deceased friends whom he will always love.
Direction
Lelouch himself crafts his legacy narrative with trademark romantic sweep.
Writing
A lifetime of storytelling compressed into reflections on war, love, and cinema.

He shot 'A Man and a Woman' for $40,000 after his producer abandoned him; the iconic race car scenes used his own vehicle.
