Marcel Ophuls, Oscar-Winning Documentarian, Dies at 97
He won an Oscar in 1988 for his film on Klaus Barbie.
News of his death was confirmed by his grandson Andreas-Benjamin Seyfert, who told The Hollywood Reporter he “died peacefully” at home in the south of France. Ophuls moved to Los Angeles in 1941, getting his first taste of cinema playing a member of the Hitler Youth in one of Frank Capra’s wartime propaganda films. It is a stubborn, angry, nagging, sarcastic assault on good manners, and I am happy Ophuls was ill-tempered enough to make it.”
