Michel Deville

Michel Deville

b. 1931 — d. 2023 (aged 92) Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France
Director Writer

Deville started his filmmaking career in the late 1950s, paralleling the emergence of the French New Wave directors. He never achieved the level of critical and international recognition of some of his contemporaries such as François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard and Claude Chabrol, possibly because of his more conventional filmmaking style. Nevertheless, his films, especially his comedies from the 1970s and 1980s, were popular in his native France.
