Georges Lautner (French: [lotnɛʁ]; 24 January 1926 – 22 November 2013[1] was a French film director and screenwriter, known primarily for his comedies created in collaboration with screenwriter Michel Audiard.[2]
Lautner's ventures into other genres were less successful though the thriller Le Professionnel starring Jean-Paul Belmondo was a big commercial hit in France in 1981.[2]
Biography
[edit]Lautner was born in Nice, France, the son of actress Renée Saint-Cyr and a Viennese aviator and jeweler.[2] Renée Saint-Cyr later appeared in eleven of her Lautner's films.[2][3]
Lautner, at the age of seven, traveled to Paris when Saint-Cyr began her film career, and there he discovered cinema. Lautner eventually left school and landed jobs at French film studios.[2]
Lautner became a film director after serving in an assistant director apprenticeship.[2]
The 1990 thriller Presumed Dangerous and 1970s Road to Salina were Lautner's only English-language films, director Quentin Tarantino used a song from Road to Salina for Kill Bill: Volume 2.[2]
