Encyclopedia > Louis Feuillade

Louis Feuillade (February 19, 1873 - February 25, 1925) was a French film director from the silent era.


Originally a wine merchant and journalist, Feuillade began his film career at Gaumont in 1905. He directed several hundred short and serial films from 1906 to 1924. His most important works include three convoluted serial thrillers, Fantomas (1913), Les Vampires (1915), and Judex (1916). He is credited with developing many of the thriller techniques used famously by Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, and others.

Les indépendants du 1er siècle - Biographie de Louis Feuillade (1001 words)
Louis Feuillade was born on February 29th 1873 in Lunel (Herault - France) in a family of modest wine merchants.
We owe extraordinary sequences to his flair for arrangement, for example "a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissection table." In "Fantomas", the gunfight in the middle of barrels is as beautiful as the struggle with the boa.
Louis Feuillade was one of the most famous filmmakers in the world after the World-War I. Thousands of spectators rushed to see his series of "Fantomas" (1913), and his serial films "The Vampires" (1915), "Judex" (1916), "Tih-Minh" (1918), "Barrabas" (1919), etcÂ… etcÂ… in which the heroes would quickly become important popular myths.
