## Biography

André S. Labarthe (also credited as André Sylvain Labarthe) was a French actor, director, producer and critic. Born on 18 December 1931 in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, he died on 5 March 2018 in Paris.

He began as a critic for *Cahiers du cinéma* in the 1950s. Labarthe appeared as Paul in Jean-Luc Godard’s *Vivre sa vie* (1962) and later acted in Jacques Rivette’s *L’Amour fou* (1969).

In 1964, with Janine Bazin, he created the long-running television documentary series *Cinéastes de notre temps* (later revived as *Cinéma, de notre temps*), in which filmmakers profiled their peers. He directed many episodes himself and produced dozens more until the 2010s.
