Paul Vecchiali
Paul Vecchiali (28 April 1930 – 18 January 2023) was a French filmmaker and author.
Biography
Vecchiali was born in Ajaccio, Corsica, France. He spent his childhood in Toulon[citation needed]. His family, suspected of collaboration, preferred to leave this city after the war[citation needed].
His cinema took as a starting point the French cinema of the 1930s, with an experimental and autobiographical tone[citation needed]. His best-known films are arguably Rosa la rose and Encore. His films were notably low-budget.
In 1987, he became the first director to link AIDS to homosexuality in a French film with his film Encore.
Vecchiali died in Paris on 18 January 2023, at the age of 92.
