Roger Hubert
Roger Hubert ( born March 30, 1903 in Montreuil -sous -Bois, † November 28, 1964 in Paris) was a French cinematographer.
Hubert was educated in Vincennes at the Marey Institute for cameraman. At the age of 18 years he worked independently, and early on he worked with renowned directors such as Jean Renoir, Jacques Feyder and Max Ophüls.
When war broke out in 1939 he was temporarily working in the film department of the French armed forces. During the German occupation he developed his own style with dark, painting -like black and white compositions. When highlights are Jean Delannoy film The eternal love spell ( after Jean Cocteau ), Marcel Carnes allegory The night with the devil and especially Carnes classic Children of Paradise.
Hubert turned in the 1950s and early 1960s, numerous films that corresponded to the style of the then usual mass cinemas and little attention has been given.
