Bright Lights Film Journal | Two Films by Jacques Becker Serene rural scenes of river boating, picnics, and blooming groves are contrasted to a street-lit assault, garbage-strewn cobblestones, and execution by guillotine. Becker’s audiences were used to contemporary stories, and a tale of the Belle Epoque simply didn’t appeal to many French cinephiles in 1952. Becker died in 1960, and it would be years before he would be repositioned with Renoir as a master of classic French cinema. www.brightlightsfilm.com /49/becker.htm   (1036 words)

Jacques Becker / films / director / biography / filmography Jacques Becker was born in 1906 to wealthy bourgeois French and Scottish parents.

Jacques Becker Jacques Becker was born in Paris, September 15, 1906; his parents were Scottish and French, and well to do. Becker is devoted to the feat, not the feast.

Jacques Becker In Montparnasse 19, Jacques Becker chronicles the final years of Modigliani's troubled life. We first meet Modigliani (Gerard Philipe), or "Modi" as his friends call him (a play on maudit or accursed), sketching the profile of a bar patron, who has promised to compensate him with a round of drinks for the artist and his friends. Becker uses camera movement and repeated images to reflect Modigliani's aimless, often misguided life. www.filmref.com /directors/dirpages/becker.html   (437 words)

JacquesBecker99 Sadly, Becker and his films have remained criminally-unknown in the U.S. – this series is the first major L.A. retrospective of his work ever mounted, and features 9 of his finest films. Becker’s romantic masterpiece is a simultaneously heartbreaking adult fairy tale and impressionist rendering of the turn-of-the-century Parisian apache underworld. Becker observes with equal parts compassion and deadpan humor the very roots of repressive parental authority. www.americancinematheque.com /jacquesbecker99.htm   (1139 words)

CinéCritiques - Commentaires L'arrestation aux USA du journaliste de la télévision française Jacques Angelvin (une sorte de Drucker des années 50) dont la Buick avait servi à passer une cargaison d'héroïne. Jacques Becker est parti en signant son chef d'oeuvre, un film sec sans un poil de graisse où la parole est rare mais où deux mots murmurés entre les lèvres suffisent (la fameuse réplique finale de Jean Keraudy). La tentative d'évasion ratée en creusant un tunnel a du ramener à Jacques Becker des souvenirs de "La grande illusion" où il assistait Renoir. cinecritiques.free.fr /site/rss.php?type=co   (3835 words)

Becker, même dans ses films criminels - il a rénové le genre en France en 1954 avec « Touchez pas au grisbi », et l’a poussé à son plus haut niveau avec « Le Trou », son œuvre ultime - aime les personnages qu’il crée, tous ses personnages. www.diplomatie.gouv.fr /fr/actions-france_830/cinema_886/promotion-du-cinema-francais_5370/une-galerie-cineastes_7913/jacques-becker_8674/index.html   (188 words)

Der Kommentar - Feuilleton - FAZ.NET - Glosse Feuilleton: Die Gesten des Jacques Becker Später, als er denselben Mann in seine geheime Wohnung bringt, zeigt Jacques Becker in einer wunderbaren Sequenz minutenlang, wie Gabin erst mal Teller auf den Tisch stellt, eine Flasche aufmacht, die Gänseleber aufschneidet und anschließend seinem Gast Bettwäsche, Handtücher und einen Pyjama herauslegt. Es hat also schon einen guten Grund, warum Becker einer der wenigen aus der Vätergeneration war, den die Nouvelle vague gelten ließ. Truffaut schrieb über eine Szene: "Sie bringt die Handlung nicht einen Schritt weiter, sie scheint vor allem da zu sein, um einen bestimmten Hauch nicht von Realismus, sondern von Realität zu vermitteln, es gibt sie aus Liebe zur Schwierigkeit." Es muß eben nicht immer alles einfach sein. www.faz.net /s/Rub5A6DAB001EA2420BAC082C25414D2760/Doc~E4DDECB7F9E114868B119FC8A0525151A~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html   (366 words)
