Biography
Background
The son of Greek Sephardic Jews from Salonica, his mother was the daughter of a wealthy textile merchant from the upper town, while his father came from a very poor family. His father, a journalist and co-founder of the Federation of Greek Communist Youth, was appointed Paris correspondent for the daily Le Progrès de Salonique in the early 1930s. His mother ran a small hosiery shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The part of his family that remained in Salonica was deported by the Nazis and ultimately perished in Auschwitz. He escaped the roundup in the 11th arrondissement on August 20, 1941, by fleeing to Marseille, then to Montagnac-sur-Auvignon in the Lot-et-Garonne.
Career
In Tous en scène (1968–1970), on the second channel, he filmed 'in a sort of concrete sail-shaped temple he caused a huge scandal with the episode 'the Scouts,' aired on Easter evening, that it reached the Chamber of Deputies — resulting in all of them being suspended for six months[2].
He collaborates to television shows as Italics, Cinéma, Cinémas, Panorama, La saga des Français, Bande à part, Un jour futur, Lancelot and a musical portrait of Liverpool in 1974. He was engaged with Gaëlle Royer for ten years, the mother of Emma de Caunes.[3]
Later, a re-release of Cinéma, Cinémas encountered legal challenges related to film and music rights, nearly resulting in its cancellation in 2008[4]."
