He died of 79 years old, Jacques Dorfman, a producer of Melville Shadows and the unhappy director of Verzoriks

It is, curious, With the press release of Elize’s palace That we are learning the death that took place on August 27 at the age of 79, from producer and director Jacques Dorfman. “His name is countless in general. His success has been shining in the dark rooms for more than thirty years. The 7th art baron, producer and famous director, Jacques Dorfman, has left us.”

In the 70s of the two biggest film producers of French cinema

Born in Toulouse on December 2, 1945, Jacques Dorfman went (great) not earlier (the great) not his father, Robert Dorfman, a well -known producer of the famous producer who was banned by Rene Clement, not touched by Griz, Jacques Becker; And, first of all, the huge successes of Corneleyud and Grand Madruil, along with Louis de Bush and Burville tandem.

Her career under the production of her father’s manufacturing company, Corona, Jacques Dorfman, when she is almost 25 years old, two of the largest films in French cinema were signed by Jean-Pierre Melville in the late 1960s and in the late 1970s: Shadows of Shadows, and then in 1969.

From the author to comedy (ultra) popular

In 1971 he bought the company, Belstar Productions and was on its own. Jacques Dorfman then navigated between the author’s films and consumer comedies. Thus, he produces a big and attempted film that we will not come together with Maurice Pialat; Police (George Lautner Ice Breast); In 1973, the shock of Allen Jessua, with Annie Girardot and Alin Delon; In 1975, Jacques Rufio’s recipe for seven dead, for Jean-Pierre Mc (Albatrosis, is a French room?) And even Charlottes against Dracula in 1980.

In the same year, he was a happy producer and filled with the triumph of the Jean-Jacques Language Fire War, very risky and hyper pests, which nevertheless seduced more than 4.9 million spectators and won two Caesars.

In 1988, he went into realization with the signature of a very beautiful movie, Tears Palanquin, which he shot in China. Four years later, he made an amazing film with Lou Diamond Philippe, Polar Agaguk, which is taking place in the Far North Canada, in Inuit Earth, and which will be the latest film by Toshiro Mifune.

Verzingorix, a movie that killed his career

Jacques Dorfman’s career, unfortunately, will be killed by a colossal failure of his film, which was released in 2001 with Christoph Lambert, which is also the worst of all time films on average.

“We’ve always been late, on everything. It happened that we’ve been running for twenty -four hours in a row” Dorfman will tell you in the issue of So Film Magazine, published in June 2021. “I made mistakes, costumes and shirts. I had to be easier. For me, this movie wasn’t a blockbuster. Only Americans who know how to do it. It was just a French, homemade and ambitious film.”

The filmmaker has the pain of losing his father at the beginning of the film. Although Klaus Maria Brandauer, who plays the Caesar, refused to leave his caravan because they are angry at the director, Dorfman must start the composition Christoph Lambert.

The actor was more bitter after the film was largely contributed to his career plumbing. The blur will be durable between the two: “We planned to continue together. I have to make a triptic on the great characters of French history. After Verzingorx, La Fayet and Charles de Gaulle. And Christophe was there …” Said Dorfman.

Who added this very unfortunate opinion, twenty years after the disaster of this movie, which was building his career: “We say that we are making reservations, but I have never succeeded. Jacques Dorfman has nothing to do or produced after this film.
