Alain Cavalier

Alain Fraissé, known as Alain Cavalier, was born in Vendôme on 14 September 1931. He studied history, then cinema at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques, and was an assistant to Louis Malle. His first feature films, devoted to Algeria and to the far right, ran into censorship. He then stayed away from cinema for several years, returned to increasingly pared-down films, then turned to documentary and the filmed diary. In 1987 he received the Césars for best film and best director.
