From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Alain Resnais (born June 3, 1922 in Vannes, France) is a famous French film director, perhaps best known for his masterpieces Hiroshima mon amour (1959), written by Marguerite Duras, and Last Year at Marienbad (L'année dernière à Marienbad) (1961), written by the French novelist Alain Robbe-Grillet.

He is also recognised for his other moving and challenging work, such as the pre-eminent Holocaust documentary Night and Fog (1955).

He was married to Florence Malraux, the only daughter of the late French statesman André Malraux and his first wife, Clara Goldschmidt. Florence often worked on Resnais's films.

His current companion is French actress Sabine Azéma.
