Claude Berri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claude Berri (born July 1, 1934 in Paris, France) is a French film director, actor, screenwriter and producer.
His films (as director) include So Long, Stooge (1983), Jean de Florette (1986), Manon des sources (1986) and Germinal (1993) — at that time the most expensive French feature film ever made.
Berri won the "Best Film" BAFTA for Jean de Florette, and has also been nominated for no less than twelve César awards, although he has yet to win one. Berri also won the Oscar for best live action short at the 39th Academy Awards in 1966, and produced Roman Polanski's Tess which was nominated for Best Picture in 1981.
