Robert Hossein (born Robert Hosseinoff; 30 December 1927) is a French film actor, director, and writer of Azerbaijani〔(Всемирно известный азербайджанец из Франции Робер Оссейн-Гусейнов, или граф Жофрей де Пейрак ) 〕〔(Робер Оссейн -Настоящая фамилия Гусейнов ) 〕 and Jewish〔(Rav Aaron Eliacheff: «Les racines juives de mon père, Robert Hossein, remontent à son grand-père, un certain Minkowski» )〕 origin. He directed the 1982 adaption of ''Les Misérables'', and appeared in ''Vice and Virtue'', ''Le Casse'', ''Les Uns et les Autres'' and ''Venus Beauty Institute''. His most recent roles include starring as Michèle Mercier's husband in the ''Angélique'' series and as a Catholic priest who falls in love with Claude Jade and becomes a communist in ''Prêtres interdits (Forbidden Priests)'' in 1973. ==Personal life== Hossein started directing films in 1955 with ''Les Salauds vont en enfer'', from a story by Frédéric Dard whose novels and plays went on to furnish Hossein with much of his later film material. Right from the start Hossein established his characteristic trademarks: using a seemingly straightforward suspense plot and subverting its conventions (sometimes to the extent of a complete disregard of the traditional demand for a final twist or revelation) in order to concentrate on ritualistic relationships. This is the director's running preoccupation which is always stressed in his films by an extraordinary command of film space and often striking frame compositions where the geometry of human figures and set design is used to accentuate the psychological set-up of the scene. The mechanisms of guilt and the way it destroys relationships is another recurring theme, presumably influenced by Hossein's lifelong interest in the works of Dostoyevski. In 1967 he was a member of the jury of the 5th Moscow International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=5th Moscow International Film Festival (1967) )〕 His 1982 film ''Les Misérables'' was entered into the 13th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Special Prize.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=13th Moscow International Film Festival (1983) )〕 Although Hossein had some modest international successes with films like ''Toi, le venin'' and ''Le Vampire de Dusseldorf'', he was much singled out for scorching criticism by the critics and followers of the New Wave for the unashamedly melodramatic frameworks of his films. The fact that he was essentially an auteur director with a consistent set of themes and an extraordinary mastery of original and unusual approaches to staging his stories, was never appreciated. He was not averse to trying his hand at widely different genres and was never defeated, making the strikingly different spaghetti western ''Cemetery Without Crosses'' and the low-budgeted but daringly subversive period drama ''I Killed Rasputin''. However, because of the lack of wider success and continuing adverse criticism, Hossein virtually ended his film directing career in 1970, having concentrated on theatre where his achievements were never questioned, and subsequently returning to film directing only twice. With two or three exceptions, his films remain commercially unavailable and very difficult to see. He is the son of André Hossein, a composer, and of a Jewish comedy actress from Kiev, Anna Minevskaya.〔( "Robert Hossein et son fils le rabbin Aaron Eliacheff" ) (10 February 2011) ''Harissa''〕〔According to the program ''Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde'', presented by Patrick Sébastien on 22 September 2007〕 He was married three times: first to Marina Vlady (he has two sons with her, Pierre and Igor), later to Caroline Eliacheff (with whom he has a son, Nicholas). He is currently married to actress Candice Patou, with whom he has one son, Julien. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Hossein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
