Biography: A student at Paris' IDHEC film school from 1962 through 1963, producer/director/writer Claude Miller had his first practical cinematic experience while he was in uniform, serving with Le Service Cinema de L'Armee. From 1965 until 1974, Miller worked in assistant and supervisory capacities for many of France's major New Wave directors, including Robert Bresson and Jean-Luc Godard. His principal mentor was Francois Truffaut, under whose tutelage Miller directed a trio of shorts and his first theatrical feature, 1976's The Best Way to Walk, a coming-of-age drama which bore traces of Truffaut's Les Mistons (1957) and 400 Blows (1959). |
