Michel Jean Ciment was a French film critic, author, and editor of the cinema magazine Positif. He was also a maître de conférences in American civilization at the University of Paris-VII.
Michel Jean Ciment (French: [simɑ̃]; 26 May 1938 – 13 November 2023) was a French film critic, author, and editor of the cinema magazine Positif. He was also a maître de conférences in American civilization at the University of Paris-VII.
Ciment was born in the 9th arrondissement of Paris on 26 May 1938, the son of Alexander and Hélène Cziment. His father, a Hungarian Jew, had settled in the French capital in the 1920s and narrowly escaped the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in 1942, fleeing to Normandy where he was later joined by his son. Ciment's French mother was also Jewish, but kept this fact hidden until just before her death (he was baptised and raised as a Catholic). He attended the Lycée Condorcet, then enrolled in a Classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, where he was influenced by the teaching of philosopher Gilles Deleuze. He studied English at the Sorbonne, and in 1958–59, was a Fulbright scholar at Amherst College in the United States, where he gained a knowledge of American history.
Ciment was noted for his love for American film, somewhat unusual in his French cultural environment. He credited his Americophilia to his memories of the liberation of Paris by American soldiers in 1944, when he was a child.
Although Ciment had written about cinema in a student publication, his first mainstream film review (of The Trial) was published in Positif magazine in 1963. He was made a board member at the influencal periodical in 1966 and went on to become its de facto chief editor, later assuming the role of publishing director in 2004. In 1972, Cimemt became a film critic on the France Inter radio programme Le Masque et la Plume, to which he contributed until a few weeks before his death. From 1990 to 2016, he also hosted Projection privée on the radio station France Culture. He was the author of reference works on the film directors John Boorman, Jane Campion, Elia Kazan, Stanley Kubrick, Joseph Losey, and Francesco Rosi, based on extensive interviews with his subjects. An anthology of interviews, Film World, was published in English 2009.
Ciment was a Chevalier of the Order of Merit, Knight of the Legion of Honour, Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters, and past president of International Federation of Film Critics. He was the first recipient of the Prix Maurice Bessy, presented at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. He died in Paris on 13 November 2023, aged 85, being survived by his second wife, Evelyne Hazan-Ciment, and son, Gilles. His first wife, Jeannine, who worked with him at Positif, died in 1986. Paying tribute to his friend, John Boorman described Ciment as "an original", commenting: "To say that Michel was passionate about the cinema was to do him an injustice. He lived and ate and dreamed cinema."
Ciment regarded cinema as a synthesis of all the arts, stating that he could not imagine being a film critic without a knowledge of theatre, literature, painting, and music. He preferred to know as little as possible about a film when viewing it for the first time, and avoided reading press releases in advance.
In 2012, Ciment participated in Sight & Sound magazine's critics' poll of the greatest films of all time, when he listed his ten favorite movies as: 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Earrings of Madame de..., Fellini's Casanova, Persona, Providence, The Rules of the Game, Salvatore Giuliano, Sansho the Bailiff, Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, and Trouble in Paradise.
