Raoul Coutard was a French cinematographer whose work became emblematic of the Nouvelle Vague. He became a central figure by shooting much of Jean‑Luc Godard’s output between 1959 and 1967 — including À bout de souffle, Vivre sa vie, Pierrot le Fou and Week-end — and also collaborated with François Truffaut and Jacques Demy. His aesthetic combined handheld camerawork, natural light and a documentary sensibility that helped define the revolutionary tone of those films. Trained in photography after a period as a photojournalist in Indochina, Coutard entered cinema by chance and quickly introduced practical technical solutions: he devised simple lighting rigs for real locations and worked with film stocks and lenses that made shooting without supplemental lights possible when required. That approach enabled the improvisational freedom many directors of the period valued. Over nearly five decades he shot more than 75 films and navigated shifts between black‑and‑white and color, and between improvisational shooting and more elaborate compositions in later decades. In 1970 he directed Hoa Binh, which won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, showing his talent as a filmmaker as well. His legacy lies in transforming the cinematic look of the 1960s: lighting techniques, the use of portable cameras and a preference for visual verisimilitude that influenced generations of filmmakers and cinematographers.
