Marcel Carné (1906 - 1996) was a French film director.
Carné criticizes French directors for
dealing with the sordid aspects of everyday life: "I think French
directors ought to be more ambitious in their choice of subject. They
should treat more elevated, general subjects, instead or resorting to
the usual themes of adultery, human relationships, the trials of
everyday life."
Carné's absolute distinction between good and evil,his rejection of any form of compromise, and his escape into fantasy give [La Merveilleuse Visite]
a naive, almost adolescent quality. His absolute uncompromising
attitudes pervade his behavior. He seems to evoke similar attitudes on
others: "People either love or hate my films; there seems to be no
middle reaction. The Parisian critics dislike whatever I do."
