	Louis Malle / films / director / biography / filmography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Louis Malle comes from a rare breed of French film director who achieved a reputation as a great director not just in his native France but internationally, and was not afraid to embrace a wide range of subjects, some notoriously controversial.
		Malle was born in 1932 in Thumeries, near to Lille in northern France, into a comfortable bourgeois family which had made a fortune in sugar production dating back to the Napoleonic wars.
		Malle’s second film about youth, Lacombe Lucien (1974), was no less controversial for its depiction of collaboration and childhood corruption in war-time France during the Nazi occupation.

	USCCB - (Film & Broadcasting) - French director Louis Malle's films given exquisite DVD treatment
		In "3 Films by Louis Malle," three of the great French film director's most acclaimed films exploring the pains and vicissitudes of adolescence get the superior Criterion treatment, with outstanding high-definition digital transfers and bountiful extras found on a separate fourth disc.
		The extras include an astute analysis of Malle by French critic Pierre Billard (subtitled), who describes the filmmaker's childhood in a religious boarding school that mirrored "Au Revoir Les Enfants." Malle was, in fact, raised "very bourgeois, very Catholic, very devout," but after being expelled, he turned his back on the church ever after.
		Malle re-creates a painful memory from his own youth in a restrained, humbling, well-acted dramatization of a boy's firsthand experience of the Holocaust.

	Comedy Central: Movies - Louis Malle - Biography
		Many of Malle's films tended to be very personal affairs that focused on some form of societal exclusion, and on more than one occasion he rejected opportunities to work in Hollywood so as to have more time to lavish greater attention on his individual projects.
		Malle's next effort, Atlantic City (1980) was widely hailed as his best American film, featuring topnotch performances from Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon.
		Malle subsequently received some of the greatest acclaim of his career with Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987).

	IGN: 3 Films by Louis Malle (The Criterion Collection) Review
		Malle's first major break into filmmaking was as an underwater camera operator for Jacques-Yves Cousteau; he later co-directed The Silent World with Cousteau at the age of 22.
		Perhaps it's this lack of a consistent style that has cheated Malle of the same familiarity and acclaim of many of his cohorts in the Nouvelle Vague; this however is the essential reason his collective body of work remains fresh all these years.
		Perhaps this is why Malle's films feel more authentic; being faced with people of the age he was trying to portray made him more realistic and more reflective on his own youth than with a group of older people trying to collectively recall adolescence.

	Louis Malle's HUMAN, TOO HUMAN by Ruby Rich
		Louis Malle is most well known for his fiction films, from his early New-Wave-styled love stories to his recent popular incest story, MURMUR OF THE HEART.
		Malle fails to fulfill his promises, constantly opting for a cute portrait, a beautiful movement or—finally—a closing freeze frame to embody his message.
		Here Louis Malle has made a film with all the look of an industrial promo spot, based upon a political attitude that condemns exploitation and claiming to be a documentary “look” at factory life.

		Malle states that his intent is not to impose a narrative but merely to let images and events occur.
		But Malle doesn't trust himself; he is as much a creature of his time and place as the people he is filming.
		Dance: immediate, physical and utterly transitory is described by Malle as a bridge between "the present moment and eternity." He and his crew film the dancers, until they are finally kicked out for being too disruptive a presence.

		Louis Malle is one of those directors who appears to have been consigned to critical limbo.
		In Malle's film, Laurent loses it to a cheerful, likable and perfectly nice young prostitute who tells him how much she likes "being the first." Although Laurent is vaguely embarrassed, he is none the worse for wear and the story carries on with no need for further comment on the moment.
		Malle is careful in both characters to account for the limited knowledge they have at this particular moment in their lives and never expects them to act with a wisdom they could not possibly possess.

	THE CURIOUS NATURE OF LOUIS MALLE
		Malle's films, from the incest in "Murmur of the Heart" to the child prostitution in "Pretty Baby," did not shy away from controversy, but neither did they particularly court it, instead covering a mind-bogglingly broad range of subject matter and genres.
		Malle pulled off a similar trick in his 1964 film "The Fire Within" ("Le Feu Follet"), in which a jaded, depressed young Parisian plays out his final hours to the music of Erik Satie.
		Louis Malle met American actress Candice Bergen at a Fourth of July party in Connecticut, married her in 1980 and died in their home (in L.A., as it turned out), of cancer, on Thanksgiving Day 1995.

	Louis Malle
		Malle introduces it earlier as a pair, one with scenes of battle, the other of peacefulness.
		The work that Louis Malle does is in pre-production, but what it comes to is his understanding of photography as cinematography, which results in sculptural moving images that really fill space (like the cat’s behind in Pretty Baby, which Fellini expanded in La Città delle Donne).
		Analytically, Malle treats the bulk of the material (from Monicelli’s I Soliti ignoti) as first a setup to the punchline in the last scene, and second the subject of his translation to an American idiom.

	Home Theater & Sound -- 3 Films by Louis Malle - ****
		As Malle observes it, the scene is a moment of consolation, the repair of a loss; Laurent’s mother has just lost her boyfriend and Laurent has been spurned by a young girl.
		Louis Malle’s first feature-length movie was not about growing up.
		Malle was keen on sound, and the source music and sound effects are beautifully reproduced in glorious monaural sound, adding immeasurably to the enjoyment of the films.

		Louis Malle was just 23 when he was asked by famed oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau to help make a film companion to his book MONDE DU SILENCE.
		Inspired by Malle�s own passion for bicycle racing, this early short film is an exhilarating tribute to the annual Tour de France.

		Louis Malle's film follows Zazie, a precocious girl desperate to ride the Métro but thwarted by a strike.
		Arguably the finest of Malle's early films, this is a calmly objective but profoundly compassionate account of the last 24 hours in the life of a suicide.
		They don't, and Malle's achievement lies not only in his subtle but clear delineation of his protagonist's emotions but in his grasp of life's compromises; his portrait of Parisian society is astringent, never facile.

		Made by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle the film is an artistic documentary of sorts that chronicles the life of marine explorers and the sea-life they are exploring.
		The Walter Reade’s site says, “Louis Malle was just 23 when he was asked by author and undersea explorer Cousteau to help him make a film that could be a kind of illustrated companion to his immensely popular book also entitled The Silent World.”
		Malle and Cousteau capture the inevitable dance of death that follows with beauty and an unwavering eye.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Review - Three Films by Louis Malle
		Fifty years before Steve Zissou, Louis Malle quit film school and joined Jacques Cousteau aboard the Calypso for the life aquatic, netting the seminal underwater classic Le Monde du Silence (1956), which won the Special Jury Prize at Cannes that year.
		Malle, who with Godard and Truffaut was a progenitor of the French New Wave, later admitted he learned almost everything he knew about filmmaking from mess-yuh Jacques, but it's here, in these semiautobiographical adolescent tales, where he finds his voix de la terre.
		Malle's considerable experience as a documentarian comes to the fore here as the weight of the circumstances easily eclipse the thinly veiled narrative structure and reek of personal experience.

	Four by Louis Malle \| The A.V. Club
		Louis Malle's auteurist French New Wave colleagues hated the way he changed his approach to filmmaking on nearly every project, but even his detractors admitted that he could execute just about any style with precision and depth.
		Malle went on to make a string of slick, genre-hopping features before digging deeper in the early '70s with 1971's Murmur Of The Heart and 1974's Lacombe Lucien.
		And like most of Malle's work, Au Revoir Les Enfants is solidly bourgeois, excusing the misbehavior of the moneyed classes by charting how the pervasiveness of evil makes us all complicit.

	Amazon.com: Malle on Malle: Books: Louis Malle,Philip French (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In this wide-ranging book, Louis Malle discusses a majority of his movies starting with the 1956 Oscar-winning Jacques Cousteau documentary "The Silent World" through 1994's "Vanya on 42nd Street." Of particular interest to me were his thoughts on "Atlantic City," "Pretty Baby," "My Dinner With Andre," and "Murmur of the Heart".
		Malle talks about working with the actors, writers, and editors on the different movies.
		Unfortunately, as with many other artists who deal with controversial subjects, Malle comes across at times like a moral relativist in some of the interviews, so that took away from my enjoyment of the book a little bit.

		Wandering through the dizzying array of movies in the Brattle's two-month Louis Malle retrospective, you'd be hard put to find a common theme or style, or even a common language, since Malle moved from France to America in the mid '70s.
		There are period films - 1967's The Thief of Paris (December 21) with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Geneviève Bujold, set in 19th-century France, and 1978's Pretty Baby (December 14), set in the whorehouses of New Orleans's Storyville in the age of ragtime.
		Many of the characters are struggling to define themselves, and Malle is fascinated by the struggle, just as stylistically he's fascinated by film's attempt to define itself.
