Jacques Becker

A turbulent student, Jacques Becker prefers to discover silent films in the cinemas of the Grands-Boulevards rather than going to high school. As a teenager, he met his eldest Jean Renoir through the Cézanne family, with whom he and his parents spent vacations. Hired as a flight attendant on a boat, he rubs shoulders with the director King Vidor on a cruise, who offers him to play in his next film. He prefers to be hired as an assistant, but his father refuses and decides to hire him within Fulmen, the battery company of which he is a director.

Having left this job in 1932, which he was hardly passionate about, Jacques Becker the same year became Renoir's assistant on La Nuit du carrefour, which marked the beginning of a long collaboration (Les Bas-Fonds, La Grande illusion, etc.). Appearing in Boudu sauvé des eaux, he will co-direct with him in 1936 La Vie est à nous, a film shot at the initiative of the PCF. Previously, in 1935, he directed a medium-length film inspired by Courteline (co-signed by Pierre Prévert) and "Une tête qui rapport", a short film that has fallen into oblivion. At the same time, a feature film project entitled "Sur la cour" was intended for him, but it would finally be shot by Renoir under the title Le Crime de M. Lange. Another false start in 1935: he got down to the adventure film "L'Or de Cristobal", but, for lack of sufficient funds,

The first film claimed by Jean Becker is Last Atout, a detective comedy that appeals to critics and audiences. He then embarked on the adaptation of a novel by Pierre Véry, Goupi Mains Rouges, an uncompromising portrait of a peasant family from the Charentes. Grand Prize for French cinema in 1943, the film was a great success. The filmmaker, whose mother, of Irish origin, ran a haute couture house, portrayed the world of fashion in Falbalas in 1945. This film on the throes of creation testifies to his sense of detail and his talent for filming women - here, Micheline Presle. He then went on to make several romantic comedies: Antoine and Antoinette (Grand Prix d'honneur at Cannes in 1947), Rendez-vous de Juillet (1949),

Not rejecting lightness, and favoring contemporary stories, Becker is one of the rare French filmmakers of the time who finds favor in the eyes of critics Truffaut or Rivette. In 1952, however, he shot a drama whose action took place in the Belle Epoque: Golden Helmet with Simone Signoret and Serge Reggiani, passionate lovers against a backdrop of clan warfare. When it was released, the film, since considered Becker's masterpiece, was a commercial failure. Eager to return to success, he shot a gangster film inspired by a novel by Albert Simonin, Touchez pas au grisbi (1954). Centered on the friendship that unites two mobsters, the film impresses with its authenticity, both socially and humanly. Jean Gabin, then at the bottom of the wave, won the Interpretation Prize in Venice, while Lino Ventura makes his screen debut. Jacques Becker's son, Jean, found his first job as an intern there.

The same year, the filmmaker shoots Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, a family film in which he has little opportunity to make his mark. Suffering from not being able to carry out personal projects, he agreed to tackle the Adventures of Arsène Lupine with Robert Lamoureux as a burglar gentleman (1957). He then turns Montparnasse 19, with Gérard Philipe in the role of Modigliani. It was Max Ophuls who was to make this film and who, suffering, had given up and appointed Becker to replace him. He returns to a darker register with his latest feature film, Le Trou, a captivating and meticulous account of a failed escape, inspired by real events. Then married to Françoise Fabian, Jacques Becker dies during the editing of the film, which will be shunned by the public, but celebrated by the critics.
