Marcel Camus (21 April 1912 – 13 January 1982) was a French film director. He is best known for ''Orfeu Negro'' (''Black Orpheus''), which won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: ''Black Orpheus'' )〕 and the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. ==Biography== Camus was born in Chappes, Ardennes, France and died in Paris. He studied art and intended to become an art teacher. However, World War II interrupted his plans. He spent part of the war in a German prisoner-of-war camp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cinema.encyclopedie.personnalites.bifi.fr/index.php?pk=13743 )〕 Prior to directing films, Camus assisted filmmakers in France, including Jacques Feyder, Luis Buñuel, and Jacques Becker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/marcel-camus/ )〕 He directed nearly a dozen films, including ''Orfeu Negro'' (also known as ''Black Orpheus''), which won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival〔 and the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film〔 In 1960, Camus made a second Brazlilian-themed film, ''Os bandeirantes''.〔 Twenty years after ''Orfeu Negro'', Camus returned to Brazilian themes for what would prove to be his last film, ''Bahia'' (also known as ''Otalia da Bahia'' and ''Os pastores da noite''), based on a novel by Brazilian novelist Jorge Amado. These films, however, failed to recapture the success of ''Orfeu Negro''. In 1970, Camus had a moderate success with a World War II comedy, ''Le Mur de l'Atlantique'' (The Atlantic Wall), starring the well-known French comedian Bourvil.〔 Camus ended his career working primarily in television.〔 Camus married one of the stars of ''Orfeu Negro'', Marpessa Dawn.〔 Camus is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery. 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「Marcel Camus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
