René Clair
René Clair (11 November 1898 – 15 March 1981) born René-Lucien Chomette, was a French filmmaker and writer. He first established his reputation in the 1920s as a director of silent films in which comedy was often mingled with fantasy. He went on to make some of the most innovative early sound films in France, before going abroad to work in the UK and USA for more than a decade. Returning to France after World War II, he continued to make films that were characterised by their elegance and wit, often presenting a nostalgic view of French life in earlier years. He was elected to the Académie française in 1960. Clair's best known films include ''The Italian Straw Hat'' (1928), ''Under the Roofs of Paris'' (1930), ''Le Million'' (1931), ''À nous la liberté'' (1931), ''I Married a Witch'' (1942), and ''And Then There Were None'' (1945).
==Early life==
René Clair was born and grew up in Paris in the district of Les Halles, whose lively and picturesque character made a lasting impression on him.〔''Dictionnaire du cinéma français'': sous la direction de Jean-Loup Passek. (Paris: Larousse, 1987). p.80.〕 His father was a soap merchant; he had an elder brother, Henri Chomette (born 1896). He attended the Lycée Montaigne and the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. In 1914 he was studying philosophy; his friends at that time included Raymond Payelle who became the actor and writer Philippe Hériat.〔Jean Mitry, ''René Clair''. (Paris: Éditions Universitaires, 1960). p.5.〕
In 1917, at the age of 18, he served as an ambulance driver in World War I, before being invalided out with a spinal injury. He was deeply affected by the horrors of war that he witnessed and gave expression to this in writing a volume of poetry called ''La Tête de l'homme'' (which remained unpublished). Back in Paris after the war, he started a career as a journalist at the left-wing newspaper ''L'Intransigeant''.〔Ephraim Katz, ''The International Film Encyclopedia''. (London: Macmillan, 1980). p.241.〕
