Question: Which film has the director who is older, Gang Of Four (Film) or Lu, The Coquette?

Lu, the Coquette is a 1918 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz. <SEP> Michael Curtiz (born Manó Kaminer(1886-1905) He directed classic films from the silent era and numerous others during Hollywood's Golden Age, when the studio system was prevalent. Curtiz was already a well-known director in Europe when Warner Bros. invited him to Hollywood in 1926, when he was 39 years of age. He had already directed 64 films in Europe, and soon helped Warner Bros. become the fastest-growing movie studio. He directed 102 films during his Hollywood career, mostly at Warners, where he directed ten actors to Oscar nominations. Mihály Kertész (1905); December 24, 1886 April 11, 1962) was a Hungarian-born American film director, recognized as one of the most prolific directors in history. James Cagney and Joan Crawford won their only Academy Awards under Curtiz's direction. He put Doris Day and John Garfield on screen for the first time, and he made stars of Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Bette Davis. He himself was nominated five times and won twice, once for Best Short Subject for "Sons of Liberty" and once as Best Director for "Casablanca". Curtiz introduced to Hollywood a unique visual style using artistic lighting, extensive and fluid camera movement, high crane shots, and unusual camera angles. He was versatile and could handle any kind of picture: melodrama, comedy, love story, film noir, musical, war story, Western, or historical epic. He always paid attention to the human-interest aspect of every story, stating that the "human and fundamental problems of real people" were the basis of all good drama. Curtiz helped popularize the classic swashbuckler with films such as "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938). He directed many dramas which today are also considered classics, "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938), "The Sea Wolf" (1941), "Casablanca" (1942), and "Mildred Pierce" (1945). He directed leading musicals, including "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), " This Is the Army" (1943), and "White Christmas", and he made comedies with "Life With Father" (1947) and "We're No Angels" (1955). <SEP> John Matthew Vlissides( August 2, 1961 – November 24, 2005) was a software engineer known mainly as one of the four authors( referred to as the Gang of Four) of the book" Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object- Oriented Software". Vlissides referred to himself as"# 4 of the Gang of Four and would n't have it any other way". <SEP> He made twenty- nine films, including" L'amour fou"( 1969)," Out 1"( 1971)," Celine and Julie Go Boating"( 1974), and" La Belle Noiseuse"( 1991). His work is noted for its improvisation, loose narratives, and lengthy running times. Inspired by Jean Cocteau to become a filmmaker, Rivette shot his first short film at age twenty. He moved to Paris to pursue his career, frequenting Henri Langlois' Cinémathèque Française and other ciné-clubs; there, he met François Truffaut, Jean- Luc Godard, Éric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol and other future members of the New Wave. Rivette began writing film criticism, and was hired by André Bazin for" Cahiers du Cinéma" in 1953. In his criticism, he expressed an admiration for American films – especially those of genre directors such as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock and Nicholas Ray – and was deeply critical of mainstream French cinema. Rivette's articles, admired by his peers, were considered the magazine's best and most aggressive writings, particularly his 1961 article" On Abjection" and his influential series of interviews with film directors co-written with Truffaut. He continued making short films, including" Le Coup de Berger", which is often cited as the first New Wave film. Truffaut later credited Rivette with developing the movement. Although he was the first New Wave director to begin work on a feature film," Paris Belongs to Us" was not released until 1961, by which time Chabrol, Truffaut and Godard released their own first features and popularised the movement worldwide. Rivette became editor of" Cahiers du Cinéma" during the early 1960s and publicly fought French censorship of his second feature film," The Nun"( 1966). He then re-evaluated his career, developing a unique cinematic style with" L'amour fou". Influenced by the political turmoil of May 68, improvisational theatre and an in- depth interview with filmmaker Jean Renoir, Rivette began working with large groups of actors on character development and allowing events to unfold on camera. This technique led to the thirteen- hour" Out 1" which, although rarely screened, is considered a Holy Grail of cinephiles. His films of the 1970s, such as" Celine and Julie Go Boating", often incorporated fantasy and were better- regarded. After attempting to make four consecutive films, however, Rivette had a nervous breakdown and his career slowed for several years. During the early 1980s, he began a business partnership with producer Martine Marignac, who produced all his subsequent films. Rivette's output increased from then on, and his film" La Belle Noiseuse" received international praise. He retired after completing" Around a Small Mountain"( 2009), and it was revealed three years later that he had Alzheimer's disease. Very private about his personal life, Rivette was briefly married to photographer and screenwriter Marilù Parolini during the early 1960s and later married Véronique Manniez. Jacques Rivette( 1 March 1928 – 29 January 2016) was a French film director and film critic most commonly associated with the French New Wave and the film magazine" Cahiers du Cinéma". <SEP> Gang of Four is a 1989 French drama film directed by Jacques Rivette. It was entered into the 39th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won an Honourable Mention. <SEP> Elliot Silverstein( born August 3, 1927, in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American director, who is best known for being the director of the movie" Cat Ballou"( 1965).
