Born in Paris, France; educated at the Collège Sainte-Barbe. French director who emerged in the 1960s, scoring a popular international success with the romantic melodrama, UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME / A MAN AND A WOMAN (1966), which he wrote (with his writing partner, Pierre Uytterhoeven), produced, shot and edited. Despite an early reputation as an "outsider" who combined social criticism with a flashy visual technique, Lelouch rapidly became assimilated into the mainstream of commercial French cinéma. Other notable credits include (as writer-director) VIVRE POUR VIVRE / LIVE FOR LIFE (1967) and UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME, 20 ANS DÉJÀ / A MAN AND A WOMAN: 20 YEARS LATER (1986, also producer).
