Philippe Sarde
Claude Sautet's composer, Oscar-nominated for Polanski's Tess.
Barely twenty, he was hired by Claude Sautet for The Things of Life (1970), and went on to score most of Sautet's films. He also worked with Bertrand Tavernier, Bertrand Blier and Roman Polanski, who asked him for The Tenant and Tess; the latter brought his Oscar nomination. He won the César for Barocco and has been nominated around ten times.
