Jacques Baratier

Died in 2009

Jacques Baratier was born on 8 March 1918 in Montpellier. A nephew of General Baratier, he first tried his hand at literature with the support of Audiberti, gave it up at the Liberation and made a short film with Boris and Alain Vian. Having come to Algeria in 1947, he worked there as an assistant, then lost in Morocco, in a sandstorm, most of the negatives of his first film. A nocturnal short film shot in Paris won him a Golden Bear. A figure of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, he worked with Christiane Rochefort and Catherine Breillat, directed some twenty films and died on 27 November 2009 in Antony.
