Raphaël Delpard

Raphaël Delpard is a Acteur, Réalisateur, Scénariste, Journaliste and writer French born in 1942 with Paris.

A singular career with the cinema which sees it making the wide variation between Jean-Luc Godard for which it makes the actor, Jean-Pierre Mocky, Sam Peckinpah and Robert Enrico, for which he is scenario writer, and the realization of B films, comic or of horror. Bidasses with the army maneuvers , with Michel Galabru, Paul Préboist, Betty Beckers, Michel Modo and Jacques Legras, one of its first films (falling under the French tradition of the comic troupier), will see the meeting between Jean Reno (which held a small role to with it) and Luc Besson (then first assistant of Delpard). Although it primarily was about a film of order, Bidasses with the army maneuvers made it possible Delpard to meet Jacques Legras and Betty Beckers, actors with whom he will work a few years again later.

In love with cinema of the fantastic, Raphaël Delpard will turn in 1980, the Night of Dead the (brought out in video under the title the Claws of Dead the ), one of the rare French incursions into the field of film of cannibals. Little noticed by the French public, (because of its exit at the same time as the Shining of Stanley Kubrick) he will be a certain success with the the United States, Delpard receiving, for the occasion, a telegram of encouragement on behalf of Tobe Hooper. The money gained thanks to the Night of Dead the (in which appeared a Charlotte de Turckheim beginner), then by Vive the money (with Jacques Legras) will allow to the realizer the operational startup of Clash , one of the rare films gore produces in the hexagon. Selected with the Festival of Avoriaz in 1984, Clash will be unfortunately decried by the critic, not because of her quality (there remains unanimously regarded as best film of Delpard and a success of the kind), but because of the performance of this last at the time of the presentation of measuring. Tired, brought back almost force to Avoriaz by its agent in the helicopter, not wishing to speak to the journalist presents, Delpard made a poor impression with the latter, which were avenged in their criticisms. This event will not be completely foreign with the stop of its cinematographic career. Forsaking the cinema with beginning of the year 90, it is devoted since to the History, in the form of a memory work on the Occupation, the Guerre of Indo-China or the Guerre of Algeria.

Today, Raphaël Delpard is Member of the Commission of the right of communication of SACD.
