Question: Do both films, The Merry World Of Leopold Z and Eternal Allegiance, have the directors who are from the same country?

<P0-S0> Based on the success of" Yojimbo", Kurosawa's next film," Sanjuro"( 1962), was altered to incorporate the lead character of this film. <P0-S1> In both films, the character wears a rather dilapidated dark kimono bearing the same family" mon". <SEP> <P1-S0> Heinrich Brandt( 8 November 1886, in Feudingen – 9 October 1954, in Halle, Saxony- Anhalt) was a German mathematician who was the first to develop the concept of a groupoid. <P1-S1> Brandt studied at the University of Göttingen and, from 1910 to 1913, at the University of Strasbourg. <P1-S2> In 1912 he attained his doctorate; he was a student of Heinrich Martin Weber. <P1-S3> From 1913 he was assistant at the University of Karlsruhe( TH). <P1-S4> He taught geometry and applied mathematics from 1921 at RWTH Aachen. <P1-S5> From 1930 he was the chair for mathematics at the University of Halle. <P1-S6> A Brandt matrix is a computational way of describing the Hecke operator action on theta series as modular forms. <P1-S7> The theory was developed in part by Brandt's student Martin Eichler. <P1-S8> It offers an algorithmic approach for machine computation( in that theta series span spaces of modular forms); the theory is now considered by means of Brandt modules. <SEP> <P2-S0> Eternal Allegiance( German: In Treue stark) is a 1926 German silent film directed by Heinrich Brandt and starring Otto Gebühr, Claire Rommer and Paul Richter. <P2-S1> The film's art direction was by Max Knaake. <SEP> <P3-S0> La vie heureuse de Léopold Z( English:" The Merry World of Léopold Z") is a 1965 comedy- drama by Gilles Carle that played a key role in efforts to create a popular national cinema in Quebec. <P3-S1> The film follows the misadventures of its title character, a snow plow operator for the City of Montreal, on Christmas Eve. <P3-S2> " La vie heureuse de Léopold Z" incorporates documentary film footage of snow clearing in Montreal, and in fact, had been originally commissioned by the National Film Board of Canada as a documentary on snow clearing, only to be turned into a fictional film by the director. <P3-S3> The film paints a portrait of a hapless Québécois little man, battling the winter elements as well as the demands of consumerism, sexual desire and the requirement at that time for French- speaking Quebecers to speak English to be successful. <P3-S4> As with other Quebec NFB films of the period," La vie heureuse de Léopold Z" incorporates Direct Cinema techniques. <P3-S5> It is also a film with a strong political point of view, with Carle intending his central character to be a" pre-revolutionary" figure, representing how the Québécois people were being exploited by a capitalist, English- speaking power structure. <P3-S6> Ironically, while the film portrays a plow operator battling a traditional Montreal snow storm, an almost snowless winter meant that Carle had to film sporadically over 18 months. <P3-S7> The film would go on to win first prize in the feature films category at the Festival of Canadian Films, held as part of the 1965 Montreal International Film Festival( more commonly known now as the Montreal World Film Festival). <SEP> <P4-S0> Gilles Carle,( July 31, 1928 – November 28, 2009) was a French Canadian director, screenwriter and painter. <P4-S1> Gilles Carle, who was a key figure in the development of a commercial Québec cinema, worked as a graphic artist and writer before he joined the National Film Board of Canada in 1960. <P4-S2> His innovative debut feature," La Vie heureuse de Léopold Z.", tracked the adventures of a snowplough operator during a madcap Christmas Eve. <P4-S3> But after the NFB rejected several of his projects, he began working independently. <P4-S4> The quirkily paced, proto-feminist" La Vraie Nature de Bernadette" – widely regarded as his best film – and" Le Mort d ’un bûcheron" eventually led to the more mainstream but graceful" Les Plouffe" and the epic love story" Maria Chapdelaine", both classics of Quebec cinema. <P4-S5> In 1972 Carle won the Canadian Film Award for best Director for his" The True Nature of Bernadette". <P4-S6> Carle was born in Maniwaki, Quebec. <P4-S7> In 1990, he was awarded the Government of Quebec's Prix Albert- Tessier. <P4-S8> In 1998, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. <P4-S9> In 2007, he was made a Grand Officer of the Ordre National du Quebec. <P4-S10> Carle died aged 81 on November 28, 2009 of complications from Parkinson's disease at the hospital in Granby, Quebec. <P4-S11> He is survived by his son and three daughters as well as his companion of 27 years, Chloé Sainte- Marie. <P4-S12> Quebec Premier Jean Charest described him, at his death, as one of Quebec's most influential filmmakers. <SEP> <P5-S0> Nathanael Neujean (5 January 1923 – 4 February 2018) was a Belgian sculptor from Antwerp. <P5-S1> A figurative artist, he mostly worked in plaster and bronze. <P5-S2> His works are held in various international collections. <P5-S3> He has been honored as a Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold and Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown.
