Everything about Serge Silberman totally explained
Serge Silberman (
May 1,
1917 –
July 22,
2003) was a
French film producer.
Silberman was born in
Łódź, then a part of the
Russian Empire. During
World War II Silberman, a Jew, survived
Nazi concentration camps and eventually settled in
Paris. One of his first works as a film producer was
Jean-Pierre Melville's 1955 film
Bob the Gambler, a precursor to the
French New Wave movement.
Silberman's most notable collaborations were with the
surrealist film director
Luis Buñuel. The pair, along with screenwriter
Jean-Claude Carrière, who Silberman introduced to Buñuel, worked together on a number of films, starting with the 1964 film
Diary of a Chambermaid. Silberman produced all of Buñuel's late films, including the
Academy Award winner
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie in 1972 and the director's very last film
That Obscure Object of Desire in 1977.
Silberman had founded his own production company, Greenwich Film Productions, in 1966. The company was responsible for the production of over 15 films. In 1981, Silberman produced his most financially successful film,
Jean-Jacques Beineix's
Diva. The film wasn't very well-received in the country of its origin,
France, but became a box-office hit abroad. The money gained from the movie enabled Silberman to provide funding for
Akira Kurosawa's ambitious 1985 film
Ran, which at the time of its making was the most expensive
Japanese film ever.
Silberman was awarded an honorary
César Award in 1988. He died in Paris in 2003 at the age of 86.
