Margaret Menegoz, Celebrated Producer of Michael Haneke, Wim Wenders and Eric Rohmer, Dies at 83
Margaret Menegoz, the producer of world-famous auteurs such as Michael Haneke and Wim Wenders, has died at the age of 83.
Menegoz was celebrated for her leadership of Les Films du Losange, an acclaimed production and distribution company which she ran for 46 years with an iron fist, guided by her passion for independent filmmaking and new voices. She joined Les Films du Losange in 1975 and started as an assistant for revered directors Eric Rohmer and Barbet Schroeder who had co-founded the company in 1962. The banner distributed in France many award-winning movies, notably Mia Hansen-Love’s “L’avenir,” produced by Charles Gillibert, which won the Silver Bear for best director; as well as Von Trier’s cult pics such as the Palme d’Or-winning “Dancer in the Dark” and Cannes jury prizewinning “Breaking The Waves.”
