Claude Chabrol in A Girl Cut in Two (2007)

Writer-director Bertrand Tavernier is truly one of the grand auteurs of the movies. His experience is vast, his knowledge is voluminous, his love is inexhaustible and his perspective is matched only by that of Martin Scorsese. This magnificent, epic documentary has been a lifetime in the making. Tavernier knows his native cinema inside and out, from the giants like Renoir, Godard, and Melville (for whom he worked as an assistant) to now overlooked and forgotten figures like Edmund T. Gréville and Guy Gilles, and his observations and reminiscences are never less than penetrating and always deeply personal.

Trivia
His relationship with Stéphane Audran ended when he fell in love with his frequent collaborator Aurore Chabrol (nee Aurore Pajot). He always liked to claim that it was Stéphane who threw him into Aurore's arms as, during the shooting of Ten Days Wonder (1971), she couldn't attend his birthday dinner and jokingly suggested that he should jump on the script-girl instead. The script-girl was Aurore and the friendship between her and Claude developed into a love affection. Audran always claimed that the story wasn't true.

Quotes
"I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest." (1971 interview with Roger Ebert)
