Born in 1930, Paul Vecchiali, « Cahiers du cinema » critic, actor and producer, has over the years created a highly original body of film that reflect his passions, the cinema of the 30s, the films of Douglas Sirk, Bresson and Hitchcock. Preoccupied with his independence, he has worked in a wide variety of genres: dramas verging on the fantastic, evocations of pornography and prostitution, and collaboration during World War Two.
