Biography

Pierre Clémenti was a French filmmaker, writer, and actor who became a countercultural figure through his work with leading European directors in the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Paris in 1942, he trained in drama. His first minor screen roles were in Yves Allégret's Jack of Spades, and he was possibly best remembered as the gangster in Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour (1967). Buñuel also cast him as the Devil in The Milky Way (1969). Pier Paolo Pasolini gave him a part in Pigsty (1969), while Bernardo Bertolucci directed him in The Conformist (1970). Dušan Makavejev cast him in Sweet Movie (1974), and he played the saxophonist Pablo in Steppenwolf (1974). Clémenti remained active in theater with Marc'O's company, and he directed experimental and underground films of his own, including the feature New Old (1978). The Cinémathèque française mounted a retrospective of his work in 1998, and the Festival Toute la mémoire du monde followed with one in 2019.
