François Reichenbach

Directors and Filmmakers

François Arnold Reichenbach (3 July 1921 to 2 February 1993) was a French film director, cinematographer, producer and screenwriter. He directed 40 films between 1954 and 1993, a career of nearly four decades. The atlas records him with Gérard Patris as a director of the documentary Arthur Rubinstein: The Love of Life, a portrait of the pianist, so that a landmark of the documentary tradition is linked to the filmmakers who made it.
