Exclusively on OVID! The Last Tycoons An eight-part documentary series by Florence Strauss They always worked behind-the-scenes and were unknown to the general public. However, they produced films, including Breathless, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Belle de Jour, that were famous not only in France, but around the world. Self-taught, passionate and willing to gamble, these men and women financed films at a time when there was neither support from the television industry nor specialized bank financing. They started with nothing and could either win it all or lose everything. Directed by Florence Strauss, the 8-part documentary series The Last Tycoons highlights the men and women who produced landmark films that influenced cinema for generations to come. |
