Jean-Pierre Mocky was born at Nice in 1929. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
The record gives his roles in the industry as film editor, film producer and screenwriter.
The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.
That the work was made from France shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Jean-Pierre Mocky died in 2019, aged 90. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
