Michel Such, born in 1944 in Algiers, is a French actor, screenwriter and director.
Michel Such entered the film industry somewhat by chance. "I was working in a bistro, the Santa Cruz, on rue Saint-André-des-Arts in Paris, near a film school. I met people behind the bar who allowed me to get a foot in the door in the profession," he explains. Michel Such went on stage and made his mark there. One day while he was working on a medium-length film by director Luc Béraud, the latter's assistant fell ill. "I gave him a helping hand and he never left me. He was the one who introduced me to Claude Miller, Patrice Leconte and the others." Claude and Annie Miller were particularly important to him. "They followed me and helped me when I moved on to directing. »
