Alain Corneau

Alain Corneau (7 August 1943 – 30 August 2010) was a French film director and writer.

Corneau was born in Meung-sur-Loire, Loiret. Originally a musician, he worked with Costa-Gavras as an assistant, which was also his first opportunity to work with the actor Yves Montand, with whom he would collaborate three times later in his career, including ''Police Python 357'' (1976) and ''La Menace'' (1977). He directed Gérard Depardieu in the screen adaptation of ''Tous les matins du monde'' in 1991.

Corneau died in Paris on 30 August 2010 from cancer, aged 67 and was interred at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

In 2024, Corneau was posthumously accused by Sarah Grappin of grooming her at 16. Provided by Wikipedia
