Marboeuf, Jean

(September 26, 1942, Mont-luçon, Allier, France - )

   The son of a Dunlop worker father and a shop as­sistant mother, he received a vocational training cer­tificate as a salesman and window dresser. He earned a living successively working as a shop assistant in a large store, traveling salesman, driver, packer, bar­man, and extra. In 1968-1969, he was a secretary for writers Daniel Guérin and Roger Stéphane and met Jean-Luc Godard. He used his knowledge of sports to write comic strip screenplays for the magazines Pilote and Tintin. After vainly trying to serve as an as­sistant director, he entered films shooting shorts. He also was a technical consultant: 1987 Accroche-Cœur (Chantal Picault, shot in 1985) and played in a TV movie (1989 Une Saison de Feuilles, Serge Leroy).
