He directed Band of Outsiders and Pierrot le fou.
In one of this director's films, the soundtrack goes silent for 36 seconds as Odile, Franz, and Arthur dance in a cafe. Another of his films features Sam Fuller describing a "battleground" of "love, hate, action, violence, death - in one word: emotions," and ends with the title character painting his face blue and using red and yellow dynamite to blow himself up. This man directed a film that ends with a notorious scene of cannibalism and begins with the murderous Corinne and Roland trapped in an epic traffic jam. His best-known film has an ambiguous ending centering on the word "dÃ©gueulasse," which is sometimes translated as "puke." In that film, Patricia, who sells the New York Herald Tribune, betrays her Bogart-loving criminal boyfriend Michel, who is played by Jean-Paul Belmondo. He directed Band of Outsiders and Pierrot le fou. For 10 points, name this iconic French New Wave director of Week End and Breathless.
