Nadine Trintignant (
Biography
Trintignant was born in Nice. She is the sister of the late actors Christian Marquand and Serge Marquand.[1] In 1960, she married French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant, who had already starred in several of her early films. The couple had three children: a daughter, actress Marie Trintignant; another daughter, Pauline; and a son, actor and screenwriter Vincent Trintignant-Corneau. They separated in 1976.[1] Following their split, Nadine Trintignant started a relationship with French director Alain Corneau, who later adopted her children Marie and Vincent.[3] Trintignant and Corneau lived together for 37 years until his death in 2010.[4]
Trintignant has suffered the loss of two of her three children. In 1970, her nine-month-old daughter Pauline died of crib death,[4][5][6] and in 2003 her older daughter Marie died from injuries inflicted by her boyfriend, French musician Bertrand Cantat, during a domestic dispute.[1][7]
In her films, Trintignant has focused on family and relationships, often borrowing from her own life.
Career
Beginnings
At age 15, Trintignant's first experience with the film industry was as a lab assistant.
Film director
Trintignant made her directorial debut with her 1965 short film Fragilité, ton nom est femme. Two years later she wrote and directed
Following the death of her nine-month-old daughter Pauline in 1970, Trintignant wrote and directed
Trintignant's next film, Défense de savoir, was released in 1973, followed by Le Voyage de noces in 1976.[10] In the 1980s she wrote and directed many films focusing on relationships through a feminist lens, such as Premier Voyage (1980), L'été prochain (1985), and La maison de Jade (1988), despite the fact that according to critics such as Nina Darnton of The New York Times, the "fire of the women's liberation movement [was] no longer fanned to so bright a flame" by then.[12]
In 1991 Trintignant joined 30 filmmakers to create Contre L'Oubli for Amnesty International. The project consisted of 30 short films, each directed by a different filmmaker paired with a public personality and dedicated to make a plea for human rights, focusing on a specific political prisoner.[13] Trintignant collaborated with her daughter Marie for the segment on José Ramon Garcia-Gomez of Mexico.[10][13]
In the 1990s and 2000s Trintignant continued to make films in collaboration with her family: Rêveuse Jeunesse (1994) and Fugeuses (1995) starred Marie; L'insoumise (1996) starred both Marie and Jean-Louis Trintignant, and was co-written by their son Vincent; and L'île Bleu was co-written again with Vincent.[10] Trintignant's most recent directorial credit is the 2003 film Colette, une femme libre, a film that once again starred Marie. Marie's sudden death occurred during the film's production, but her scenes had already been shot, so Trintignant completed the film and dedicated it to her daughter.[1]
Novelist
Trintignant has written several novels, including Ton Chapeau au vestiaire (1997), Combien d'enfants (2001), and Le Jeune homme de la rue de France (2002). After her daughter Marie died, Trintignant wrote the memoir Marie, ma fille (2003).[14] She has since written several books about her personal life: her autobiography J'ai été jeune un jour (2006);[14][15] a collection of short stories depicting her pain after Marie's death, Un étrange peine (2007);[16] a memoir of her late partner Alain Corneau, Vers d'autres matins (2012);[4][17] and an homage to her mother, La voilette de ma mère (2014).[18]
