Original Audiard, Michel Movie Posters

Michel Audiard movie posters document France's greatest dialogue writer — the man behind more than 100 scripts for Jean Gabin, Verneuil, and Audiard fils — the 1950s through the 1970s.

Audiard wrote the screenplays for more than a hundred French films, working consistently with directors including Gilles Grangier, Jean Delannoy, Henri Verneuil, and Georges Lautner. His dialogue for the Gabin cycle — the films he wrote for the ageing Jean Gabin in the 1960s and 70s — created one of French popular cinema's great late-career legacies, the actor's gravitas finding perfect expression in Audiard's laconic, ironic, irreverent prose. His scripts gave French popular cinema some of its most enduring and widely quoted lines.

His son Jacques Audiard — director of A Prophet, Rust and Bone, and the Palme d'Or-winning Dheepan — inherited his father's intelligence without his populism, creating a different but equally distinctive French voice. Michel Audiard's theatrical materials — the French films that bear his screenplay credit — are documents of French popular cinema at its most commercially confident and culturally specific, the grandes affiches of their releases reflecting the warmth and wit of his dialogue.
