âFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Maurice Pialat  (21 August 1925 â 11 January 2003) was a French film director, screenwriter and actor noted for the rigorous and unsentimental style of his films. His work is often described as being "realist", though many film critics acknowledge that it does not fit the traditional definition of realism.
