Louis Malle (30 October 1932 – 23 November 1995) was a French film director, producer, and screenwriter. He was a contemporary of the UsefulNotes/FrenchNewWave and is sometimes listed as a part of the movement, but he did not consider himself a member, and rejected several of its tenets such as UsefulNotes/TheAuteurTheory.

I hate to deprive a page of tropes completely, but one (French New Wave) isn't a trope and the others are flagrant trope misuse.


!! Tropes:

* FrenchNewWave: Zigzagged. He is at times considered to belong to this genre but is one of the side creators in this movement.
* TheNondescript: Before the page for Louis Malle was started separate pages were already existing for six of his films including ''Viva Maria'', ''Lacombe Lucien'', ''Pretty Baby'', ''Atlantic City'', ''My Dinner with Andre'', ''Au revoir les enfants''. That's a superior number to that of quite a few acclaimed directors with their own pages. Even though the list '''still''' does not include some of his best films from the very beginning of his career or some of fairly acclaimed films made by him already in TheNineties as well as includes ''Viva Maria'' and ''Pretty Baby'' which are not among his famous works.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: He was vilified for ''Lacombe Lucien'' and more than ten years later made a similarly-themed ''Au revoir les enfants'' which was universally approved in France.
