Yves Félix Claude Boisset (14 March 1939 – 31 March 2025) was a French film director and screenwriter.
Early life
Boisset was born 14 March 1939, in Paris, France.[1] He studied at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC).[2]
Career
Boisset began his career as an assistant director. After working with such directors as Hossein, Ciampi, Melville and Clément, he began directing short films until the late 1960s when he made his feature film debut. Boisset frequently contributed to the scripts he shot and was known for his fast-paced action-adventures and his social and political thrillers. His 1972 film L'Attentat entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Silver Prize.[3]
His films have been known for their controversial releases,[4] and he for his left-wing political views.[5]
He sued Arnold Schwarzenegger and 20th Century Fox over The Running Man, which he believed had plagiarized his film Le prix du danger[4] and he won the lawsuit.[6]
In 2011, he published an autobiography, Script error: No such module "Lang". (transl. Life is a choice).[4]
Death
Boisset died on 31 March 2025, at the age of 86.[7] He had been in hospital care in Levallois-Perret for a few days.[8]
