Seven Comedies: The Films of Luc Moullet

While little-known in the US, Luc Moullet has been a key figure in French cinema for over forty years. After getting his start at eighteen in the pages of Cahiers du Cinéma, he made his first short, Un Steack Trop Cuit, in 1960 and since then has directed thirty more films and produced important works by directors like Marguerite Duras and Jean Eustache. Despite a steadily growing filmography, the vagaries of distribution have kept these works from the exposure they deserve outside of France. Given the quality of Moullet's films and the breadth of his influence, we feel a proper reckoning of his accomplishments is long overdue and hope the following series will constitute the first step in rectifying this situation.
