Louis Malle

Louis Malle was born at Thumeries on 30 October 1932, into a wealthy family of industrialists, who at first opposed his vocation. He entered the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques, then co-directed with Jacques-Yves Cousteau an underwater documentary that was awarded at Cannes in 1956. After a long stay in India, from which he brought back two documentaries, he settled in the United States in 1975 and shot several films there. He died in Beverly Hills on 23 November 1995.
