  6. French 4/5: Les stars du cinéma français: Claude Lelouch
    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sat 7 Jun 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Julie Ricci
    Claude Lelouch a eu une longue et riche carrière cinématographique, et la simple mention de son nom fait venir à l’esprit de celui ou celle qui l’entend une image ou une réplique de film de telle ou telle génération. De nombreux grands acteurs sont passés devant sa caméra et avoir l’opportunité de jouer dans un de ses films est toujours un honneur. D’Un Homme et Une Femme à Les plus belles années d’une vie en passant par Itinéraire d’un enfant gâté et Les Misérables, Claude Lelouch est sans aucun doute un monstre sacré du cinéma français faiseur de monstres sacrés du cinéma français.
