Daniel Boulanger, né le 24 janvier 1922 à Compiègne et mort le 27 octobre 2014 (à 92 ans) à Senlis, est un écrivain, auteur de théâtre, acteur et poète français. Membre de l'Académie Goncourt à partir de 1983, il en démissionne en 2008.

Biography

Il fait ses études dans l'Aisne au petit séminaire Saint-Charles de Chauny. Après ses études, il entend se consacrer à l'enseignement et devient instituteur. Peu après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il s'exile un temps au Brésil où il est professeur de français. Son salaire insuffisant le contraint toutefois à se faire courtier en tableaux d'art. En 1946, il quitte précipitamment l'Amérique de Sud et s'installe au Tchad pour occuper un poste de rédacteur aux Affaires économiques.

De retour en France à la fin des années 1950, il fréquente le milieu du cinéma et rédige des scénarios et dialogues pour plusieurs films de la Nouvelle Vague. En parallèle, il publie des romans, des nouvelles et, à partir de la fin des années 1960, des recueils de poésie et des pièces de théâtre.

Comme acteur, il tient de petits rôles dans quelques films de François Truffaut, notamment Tirez sur le pianiste et Domicile conjugal. Dans ce dernier, il est le ténor et voisin de Claude Jade et de Jean-Pierre Léaud. À la fin du film, Léaud se comporte comme se comportait naguère le chanteur d'opéra, c'est-à-dire qu'il prend le manteau et le sac à main de sa femme et les jette dans l'escalier ; il est devenu un mari à l'égal du ténor. Claude Jade porte le sac, Boulanger et sa femme (Silvana Blasi) l'aident à remettre son manteau - et la femme du ténor dit à Boulanger: « Tu vois chéri, maintenant ils s'aiment vraiment.

The fourth installment in François Truffaut’s chronicle of the ardent, anachronistic Antoine Doinel, Bed and Board plunges his hapless creation once again into crisis. Expecting his first child and still struggling to find steady employment, Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) involves himself in a relationship with a beautiful Japanese woman that threatens to destroy his marriage. Lightly comic, with a touch of the burlesque, Bed and Board is a bittersweet look at the travails of young married life and the fine line between adolescence and adulthood.

As the film opens, Julie Kohler (Jeanne Moreau) tries to throw herself out of an upstairs window, but is stopped by her mother (Luce Fabiole). Julie is dressed in black and is obviously grief-stricken. In the next scene, she is more composed, telling her mother she is going on a long trip, and counting out five piles of money. She gets onto a train, but right afterwards steps down on the opposite side, hidden from onlookers.

Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a youthful criminal who is intrigued with the film persona of Humphrey Bogart. After stealing a car in Marseille, Michel shoots and kills a policeman who has followed him onto a country road. Penniless and on the run from the police, he turns to an American love interest Patricia (Jean Seberg), a student and aspiring journalist, who sells the New York Herald Tribune on the streets of Paris. The ambivalent Patricia unwittingly hides him in her apartment as he simultaneously tries to seduce her and call in a loan to fund their escape to Italy. At one point, Patricia says she is pregnant with Michel's child. She learns that Michel is on the run when questioned by the police. Eventually she betrays him, but before the police arrive she tells Michel what she has done. He is somewhat resigned to a life in prison, and does not try to escape at first. The police shoot him in the street and, after a prolonged death run, he dies “à bout de souffle” (out of breath).

Les événements relatés dans les deux parties de La Révolution française sont nombreux. Les producteurs ont voulu relever le défi inédit de couvrir l’ensemble de la période révolutionnaire et donc tous ses principaux événements (ce qui en fait d'ailleurs un film pédagogique malgré son parti pris clairement dantoniste). L'œuvre passe cependant très vite sur la guerre de Vendée, qui n’est mentionnée que quatre fois, notamment par Robespierre et Desmoulins, qui dénonce le massacre d’ « un peuple entier ». Le film se termine sur l’exécution de Robespierre et Saint-Just en 1794 et omet d'évoquer la suite des événements. Toutefois, la Révolution française s'étend jusqu'en 1799, année du coup d'État de Napoléon Bonaparte.
