74% Informative
The German -born filmmaker, who was the son of legendary filmmaker Max Ophuls , died Saturday at his home in southwest France of natural causes, his grandson says.
“The Sorrow and the Pity” shattered the comforting myth that most of France had resisted the Nazis during the Second World War .
It was deemed too provocative and divisive, it was banned from French television for over a decade.
It would not air nationally until 1981 .
Ophuls was a Jewish exile married to a German woman who had once belonged to the Hitler Youth .
He was a French citizen never fully embraced; a filmmaker who adored Hollywood , but changed European cinema by telling truths others wouldn't.
He is survived by his wife, Regine , their three daughters, and three grandchildren.
