	Claude Berri - Biography - MSN Movies
		An actor turned director, producer, and screenwriter, Claude Berri is known in France and abroad for making films that offer both comedic and dramatic explorations of the prejudices and anxieties that plague most people, and their alternately deleterious and hilarious repercussions.
		Featuring Berri as himself (and Alain Cohen as his younger self), the film was the director's autobiographical exploration of his youth and teen years.
		Berri subsequently tried his hand at straight romance with Je Vous Aime (1980), which starred Catherine Deneuve as a woman reflecting on the state of her love life and featured a cast that included GÃ©rard Depardieu, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jean-Louis Trintignant.

	An Interview with Director CLAUDE BERRI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Berri's films have always been comparable with rich cuisine that compliment mood and era; from the sweetness of profiteroles to hearty provincial ragout casserole, there is little that has been constructed in his aural kitchen that does not tempt and tantalise.
		Born in 1934 in Paris Berri was exposed to the wartime antics of his suspicious and fearful countrymen and the insidious reign of the Nazis.
		Berri's provincial vistas seduced many within and outside of the film world and whilst his 1990 picture Uranus remains fairly obscure, Germinal was the object of much praise for its gritty and heartfelt stance.

	Untitled
		Claude Berri's has been a remarkable career, represented in Cannes this year by his collaborations by Polanski, Annaud and Forman.
		As Berri was reluctant to talk to journalists who hadn't seen the film, but were doing interviews before Cannes, this figurative requirement became literally mandatory.
		Working as actor, director and producer on this largely autobiographical (Berri says it's not 100% true) film from 1970, Berri escorts the audience through the life of his character, the aptly-named Claude Berri (born Langman).

		In Berri's latest tale, set in Paris and the majestic beaches of Normandy, Jacques (The Taste of Others' Jean Pierre Bacri) is a forlorn bachelor living alone after his wife (director Catherine Breillat) has left him.
		Berri keeps his audience guessing at the outcome in this extremely well acted and meticulously observed film, a bittersweet and sexy romantic comedy that shows how hope can come to the hopeless and love to the lonesome.

	Review: Germinal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Director/producer Claude Berri, who is perhaps best known for his films Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring, has dedicated Germinal to his father, a furrier who toiled for most of his life in factories and died at the age of 58 from inhaling animal hairs.
		Berri refuses to gloss over the ugliness of what it was like to work underground, and, in vivid contrast to soot-coated, sweating, weary men and women trudging through candlelit darkness, he presents the pampered lives of those who run the mines.
		Berri's indictment of plight of the miners is at once simple and moving.

		Lucie Aubrac For the past few years, Claude Berri has channelled his producing and directing talents into big-budget epics like Jean de Florette and Germinal, creating a kind of cineastic history book of his homeland France.
		Berri's point is certainly hard to dispute: a filmmaker's typical daily routine is hardly as colourful as, let's say, a 'historical thriller' (Berri), like the story of Lucie Aubrac.
		Claude Berri's film concentrates on nine months - May 1943 to February 1944 - in the life of Raymond (Daniel Auteuil) and Lucie Samuel (Carole Bouquet), who fought in the French Resistance against the German Occupation.

	Lucie Aubrac . Austin Chronicle . 11-01-99
		Berri has done period work before, but Lucie Aubrac is all of a piece; the film plunges you into the experience of wartime Resistance fighters, whether it be in Lucie and Raymond's cramped yet wonderfully cozy apartment or in the gray, pocked streets of the French towns in which the story unfolds.
		The outcome of Lucie's plight is a given Berri's film is based on her memoirs, so we can rest assured going in that she lived to tell the proverbial tale.
		Couple this with Berri's almost clinically romantic direction he loves to linger on Lucie in all her Sunday finery, and so do we and you've got something that calls to mind the other, untold half of Casablanca.

		Director Claude Berri is one of those filmmakers who often takes several years between productions.
		Berri is sympathetic to all the characters, including those who act from less-than-noble motives.

		Here is a trite, often used storyline that could so easily have been mediocre and forgetable, but the three wonderful actors create performances that sing with reality and a truly believable lived in characterization.
		Director and co-writer Claude Berri has given us many notable films, like Jeanne de Florette and Manon of the Spring, in a film career that is too little celebrated, and The Two of Us is very near the best.

	Friendship forged on and off screen
		We see this in Claude Berri’s lovely and loving 1967 autobiographical movie “The Two of Us” (“Le vieil homme et l’enfant”) that, thanks to Bruce Goldstein’s Rialto Pictures, now comes back to us in a new 35mm print opening Friday for two weeks at Film Forum.
		Playing 8-year-old Claude Langmann, the little Jewish kid sent for survival from German-occupied Paris to that farm near Grenoble, was 9-year-old Alain Cohen, a hell-raiser spotted in 1966 by Claude Berri (born Claude Langmann) at L’Ecole Montevideo, a Hebrew Sunday school in the 16th arrondissement close to the Eiffel Tower.
		Berri, whose later great successes would include “Jean de Florette” and “Manon of the Springs,” followed “The Two of Us” with two more films about his own youth, in both of which – “Le cinema de papa” (1967) and “La premiere fois” 1976, Alain Cohen appeared as Claude.

	The Housekeeper review - movie review of the Claude Berri film starring Jean-Pierre Bacri
		Directed by Claude Berry (Jean de Florette, Lucie Aubrac), the film focuses on Jacques (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a recently separated middle-aged man who hires Laura (Émilie Dequenne), a young housekeeper to clean his apartment.
		After only a few days, the girl is kicked out from her boyfriend's apartment and moves in with him, allowing for a strange relationship to grow between the two of them.
		Berri's direction is discreet, leaving the reins of the Housekeeper to the two talented actors, who bring it to life and keep it plausible and enjoyable from beginning to end.

		Her moves toward avenging her father's demise provide an ironic twist to this harsh and thought-provoking saga, and French director Claude Berri perfectly illustrates the lasting consequences of deceit, greed, and revenge.
		Claude Berri's direction is so perfectly paced, so full of attention to detail and so unobtrusive and natural that the film just seems to happen without effort.
		Taken verbatim from his novel of the same name, it was flawlessly adapted by Claude Berry and Gerard Brach, whose work consisted mainly in translating into images this impeccable scenario.

	village voice > film > The Housekeeper by Leslie Camhi
		The Housekeeper, veteran French director Claude Berri's remarkably faithful adaptation of Christian Oster's slyly comic and bitter novel A Cleaning Woman (newly translated by Mark Polizotti for the Other Press), explores that delicate moment of transition when one phase of a man's life has ended, and he's not yet aware that another has begun.
		Jean-Pierre Bacri stars as Jacques, a usually meticulous fiftysomething Parisian sound engineer who's managed to let the newspapers and dirty socks pile up at home in the months since he was dumped by his longtime live-in girlfriend.
		Berri, whose previous film, La Débandade (Hard Off), was an autobiographical farce about erectile dysfunction, has an unerring instinct for probing the chinks in masculine armor.

		A first-time housekeeper, Laura leaves much to be desired in her apartment-cleaning skills, but she easily manages to breathe life and passion back into Jacques's life.
		Written and directed by Claude Berri, who helmed the notable French film Jean de Florette, The Housekeeper is a film about the loss of love and the renewal of hope.
		Bacri plays Jacques with comic ambivalence, never quite sure what to make of the young girl who has wheedled and whined her way into his life.
