1950 "Justice est faite "
1960 "Le Passage du Rhin "André Cayatte (
February 3 ,1909 ,Carcassonne –February 6 ,1989 ,Paris ) was aFrench New Wave filmmaker and lawyer, who became known for his films centering on themes of crime, justice, and moral responsibility, themes which Cayatte persisted in affirming regardless of changing contemporary attitudes.Some of Cayatte's earlier films that covered these themes include "Justice Est Faite" ("
Justice is Done ," 1950), "Nous sommes tous des assassins" ("We Are All Murderers ," 1951), and "Tomorrow Is My Turn " (1962). In 1963, André Cayatte undertook a bold experiment in film narrative with a set of two films entitled "Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale" ("Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Jean-Marc"), and "Françoise ou La vie conjugale" ("Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Françoise"). "Anatomy of a Marriage" tells the same story from two different points of view, forming a cinematic pairing that anticipated later works likeAlain Resnais ’ Smoking/No Smoking (1993).External links
