Henri-Georges Clouzot
Henri-Georges Clouzot was a French film director, screenwriter and producer.
He is best remembered for his work in the thriller film genre, having directed" The Wages of Fear" and" Les Diaboliques", which are critically recognized as among the greatest films from the 1950s.
Clouzot also directed documentary films, including" The Mystery of Picasso", which was declared a national treasure by the government of France.
Clouzot was an early fan of the cinema and, desiring a career as a writer, moved to Paris.
He was later hired by producer Adolphe Osso to work in Berlin, writing French- language versions of German films.
After being fired from UFA studio in Nazi Germany due to his friendship with Jewish producers, Clouzot returned to France, where he spent years bedridden after contracting tuberculosis.
Upon recovering, Clouzot found work in Nazi-occupied France as a screenwriter for the German- owned company Continental Films.
At Continental, Clouzot wrote and directed films that were very popular.
His second film" Le Corbeau" drew controversy over its harsh look at provincial France and Clouzot was fired from Continental before its release.
As a result of his association with Continental, Clouzot was barred by the French government from filmmaking until 1947.
After the ban was lifted, Clouzot reestablished his reputation and popularity in France during the late 1940s with successful films including" Quai des Orfèvres".
After the release of his comedy film" Miquette et sa mère", Clouzot married Véra Gibson- Amado, who would star in his next three feature films.
In the early and mid-1950s, Clouzot drew acclaim from international critics and audiences for" The Wages of Fear" and" Les Diaboliques".
Both films would serve as source material for remakes decades later.
After the release of" La Vérité", Clouzot's wife Véra died of a heart attack and Clouzot's career suffered due to depression, illness and new critical views of films from the French New Wave.
Clouzot's career became less active in later years, limited to a few television documentaries and two feature films in the 1960s.
Clouzot wrote several unused scripts in the 1970s and died in Paris in 1977.

I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
