Not a very ordinary course of a 6 year old Armenian boy, who arrives to Marseilles with his father, mother and two aunts. Azad will not have a mother, but a "plural of mothers": Mayrig, Anna and Gayane. The single happiness of this Armenian family resides in the fact of "being together."

Azad became Pierre Zakar, a director of a large theatre. Married with Carole, father of two children, he lives in luxury. Pierre realizes, however, that Carole little by little takes him away from his family and his roots.

Birth Name: Ashot Malakian - Henri Verneuil

Birth Place: Rodosto, Turkey: Oct-15 - 1920-=- Jan-11 - 2002

 

 

The acclaimed French film director Henri Verneuil was born Achad Malakian at Rodosto, Turkey, in 1920. To avoid persecution, his Armenian family fled to France when he was an infant in 1924.

 

Verneuil began a career as a journalist before devoting his life to cinema. His first thirty or so films were shorts. He achieved the status of a popular film director in the 1950s, working on several occasions with the great comic actor Fernandel. In subsequent years he would work with other acting luminaries, including Jean Gabin, Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo.

 

Verneuil’s cinema shows a surprising range, including outrageous comic farces and tense detective thrillers. His most successful films include Le Mouton à cinq pattes, La Vache et le prisonnier, Mélodie en sous-sol, Le Clan des Siciliens and Peur sur la ville.

 

PARIS (AP) - [color-red]Henri Verneuil[/color], a prolific French filmmaker who directed some of France's greatest movie stars, died Friday, according to the French Fine Arts Academy. He was 81.

 

Among Verneuil's most memorable films is ``La Vache et le Prisonnier'' (The Cow and I), a charming film about a man's adventures with a stubborn cow, made in 1959.

 

Verneuil directed such giants of the French cinema as Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Both appeared in Verneuil's 1962 film, ``Un Singe en Hiver'' (A Monkey in Winter).

 

Born in Turkey, Verneuil was a naturalized French citizen of Armenian ancestry. In 1991, he directed ``Mayrig,'' a film dealing with the Armenian genocide starring Omar Sharif and Claudia Cardinale.

 

In 1996, Verneuil was awarded an honorary Cesar, France's equivalent of the Oscar, for lifetime achievement in film.

The characteristic of Henry Verneuil is that, in good Armenian, he puts something armenian is most of his films, and most of his films are played by not less famous Jean-Paul Belmondo.

He died today at 81.
