Hal Ashby

biography:
Hal Ashby (September 2, 1929 – December 27, 1988) was an American film director and editor associated with the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking. Before his career as a director, Ashby edited films for Norman Jewison, notably The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966), which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Editing, and In the Heat of the Night (1967), which earned him an Oscar for the same category.

Ashby received a third Oscar nomination, this time for Best Director, for Coming Home (1978). Other films directed by Ashby include The Landlord (1970), Harold and Maude (1971), The Last Detail (1973), Shampoo (1975), Bound for Glory (1976) and Being There (1979).

Born William Hal Ashby in Ogden, Utah, he grew up in a Mormon household. His tumultuous childhood as part of a dysfunctional family included the divorce of his parents, his father's suicide, and dropping out of high school. Ashby was married and divorced by the time he was 19.

As Ashby was entering adult life, he moved from Utah to California where he soon became an assistant film editor. After being nominated for the Academy Award for Film Editing in 1967 for The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming, his big break occurred in 1968 when he won the award for In the Heat of the Night.  At the urging of producer Norman Jewison, Ashby directed his first film The Landlord in 1970. While his birth date placed him squarely within the realm of the prewar generation, the filmmaker quickly embraced the hippie lifestyle, adopting vegetarianism and growing his hair long. In 1970 he married actress Joan Marshall. While they remained married until his death in 1988, the two had separated by the mid-seventies, with Marshall never forgiving Ashby, along with Warren Beatty and Robert Towne, for dramatizing certain unflattering elements of her life in Shampoo.

Over the next 16 years, Ashby directed several acclaimed and popular films, many were about outsiders and adventurers traversing the pathways of life. Aside from Shampoo, Ashby's most commercially successful film was the Vietnam War drama Coming Home (1978). Starring Jane Fonda and Jon Voight, both in Academy Award-winning performances, it was for this film that Ashby earned his only Best Director nomination from the Academy for his work.  After Being There (his last film to achieve widespread attention), Ashby became notoriously reclusive and eccentric, retreating to his home in Malibu Colony. Later it was learned that Ashby was using drugs, and he slowly became difficult and unemployable.

Attempting to turn a corner in his declining career, Ashby stopped using drugs, trimmed his hair and beard, and began to frequently attend Hollywood parties wearing a navy blue blazer so as to suggest that he was once again employable. Despite these efforts, he could only find work as a television director.

Ashby died on December 27, 1988 at his home in Malibu, California.

The Last Detail, Bound for Glory, Coming Home, and Being There were all nominated for the Palme d'Or.

biography: Director y editor de cine estadounidense nacido en Ogden, Utah. Fue un personaje atípico en el mundo del cine, que dejó una filmografía digna de elogio, repleta de pequeñas obras maestras en las que refleja el sello de un autor sobresaliente. Desde muy joven su destino estuvo marcado por la fatalidad. Su infancia en Utah no fue todo lo placentera que un joven mormón podría soñar. Su padre, tras un complicado divorcio, decidió que el camino más corto hacia ninguna parte era el suicidio. Ashby dejó atrás su pasado y puso rumbo a Los Ángeles en busca de fama y fortuna. Encontró ambas en su trabajo como ayudante de montaje. Rápidamente despuntó. Mejoraba cada película que pasaba por sus manos. Dotaba a cada secuencia de un ritmo y un estilo único. Era el mejor montador de Hollywood, él lo sabía. Los demás también. En 1967 ganó el Oscar al mejor montaje por, En el calor de la noche, asfixiante, enfermiza y envolvente película dirigida por Norman Jewison. El siguiente paso no tardaría en llegar. Sin duda, era el momento de pasar a la dirección con The Landlord (1970), pero realmente asombra a crítica y público con la extraordinaria Harold y Maude (1971), una rareza imprescindible para entender la genialidad de un cineasta en estado de gracia y el estilo que se imponía entre las nuevas generaciones lideradas por Coppola, De Palma, Friedkin y Cimino, entre otros. Mucha barba, mucho talento y poco respeto por el corsé de los estudios. La primera piedra estaba bien asentada, pero faltaba empezar a construir el edificio. Cintas como The last detail (El último deber, 1973), con un genial Jack Nicholson y Shampoo (1975), con Warren Beatty haciendo el papel más canalla de su carrera demostraron que, además, era un director taquillero y no sólo un artesano de elite. Pero lo mejor estaba por llegar. El final de la década le llevó a rodar dos filmes inolvidables, Coming Home (El regreso, 1978), película con la guerra del Vietman como telón de fondo, donde sirvió el Oscar en bandeja a Jane Fonda y Jon Voight y la increíble Being There (Bienvenido Mr. Chance, 1979), donde Peter Sellers demostró que es mucho más que un excelente actor de comedia en una de las mejores películas de la década. Ashby ya tenía fama de hombre complicado. Lo era. Con un aspecto de hippie en viaje de ida y su actitud de marciano en misión de paz empezaron a circular todo tipo de rumores sobre su persona. Sus adicciones y consumos cada vez menos moderados hicieron el resto. Tiró su matrimonio a la alcantarilla de Hollywood y empezó a dejarse ver, y oler, con todo tipo de mujeres. Comenzó la inevitable caída. Los ochenta no fueron buenos. No podían serlo. Fiascos en taquilla, pérdida de credibilidad en los estudios y la puntilla final: un cáncer pancreático le escribió un final rodado con escaso presupuesto. Ashby moriría el 27 de diciembre de 1988 en su casa de Malibú. Atrás dejó muchos buenos momentos y una manera de entender el cine que asombró a los estudios más conservadores. Era el sello de Ashby, sus mejores películas eran insuperables, las menos buenas, sobresalientes.

biography:
Hal Ashby est un réalisateur, monteur, acteur et producteur américain, né le 2 septembre 1929 à Ogden (Utah) et mort le 27 décembre 1988 à Malibu (Californie).

William Hal Ashby, dit Hal Ashby, est né à Ogden, dans l'Utah, le dernier de quatre enfants d'une famille mormone. Sa jeunesse est marquée par le divorce de ses parents et le suicide de son père. À l'âge de 17 ans, il quitte la maison familiale pour se rendre en Californie.

Il commence à travailler à Hollywood dans les années 1950 en tant qu'employé puis assistant-monteur pour les studios Universal, notamment sur des films de William Wyler, George Stevens et Franklin Schaffner. Au cours des années 1960, Ashby devient monteur pour Tony Richardson et surtout pour Norman Jewison avec qui il travaille pour la première fois en 1965 comme monteur sur le film Le Kid de Cincinnati. Sa collaboration avec Jewison vaut à Ashby d'avoir une nomination aux Oscars pour le montage de Les Russes arrivent, avant de remporter le trophée l'année suivante pour Dans la chaleur de la nuit.

La collaboration entre Ashby et Jewison se poursuit alors que ce dernier produit le premier film réalisé par Ashby, une comédie dramatique intitulée Le Propriétaire. Malgré une critique favorable, le film ne connait qu'un succès limité.

Les films suivants d’Ashby sont tous, à des degrés divers, considérés comme des œuvres marquantes du cinéma américain des années 1970. Ainsi Harold et Maude, une comédie d'humour noir qui passe d'abord inaperçue lors de sa sortie en 1972, atteint au fil des années le statut de film culte. En route pour la gloire est une biographie du chanteur Woody Guthrie. Le Retour est un drame sur la réinsertion de deux vétérans du Vietnam et vaut à Ashby sa seule nomination à l'Oscar de la mise en scène. Bienvenue, mister Chance, satire politique adaptée par Jerzy Kosinski d’un de ses propres romans, fournit à Peter Sellers l’occasion d’un dernier grand rôle.

Bienvenue, Mister Chance est aussi la dernière vraie réussite de Ashby. En 1982, son film Lookin' to Get Out est très mal reçu par la critique et ne connaît pas le succès. Let's Spend the Night Together est un simple enregistrement d'un concert de la tournée américaine du groupe The Rolling Stones. La comédie Match à deux et le film noir Huit millions de façons de mourir ne reçoivent au mieux qu'un accueil tiède tant du public que de la critique. Ashby est d'ailleurs congédié lors du dernier jour de tournage de Huit millions de façons de mourir et ne participe pas au montage du film.

Ashby termine sa carrière à la télévision en dirigeant l'émission pilote de la série Beverly Hills Buntz et le téléfilm Jake's Journey. À ce moment, la santé de Hal Ashby est déjà déclinante. Il meurt d'un cancer du pancréas, à l'âge de 59 ans, le 27 décembre 1988.

L'ensemble de son œuvre cinématographique est déposée à l'Academy Film Archive et ses écrits le sont à l'Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library. ...

哈尔·阿什比

biography:
哈尔·阿什比 （Hal Ashby） 是一位与新好莱坞电影制作浪潮相关的美国电影导演和编辑。

在成为导演之前，阿什比曾为诺曼·杰维森（Norman Jewison）剪辑电影，尤其是《俄罗斯人来了，俄罗斯人来了》（1966年），该片为阿什比赢得了奥斯卡最佳剪辑提名，以及《夜深人静》（1967年），这为他赢得了同一类别的唯一奥斯卡奖。

阿什比第三次获得奥斯卡提名，这次是凭借《回家》（1978）获得最佳导演提名。阿什比执导的其他电影包括《房东》（1970 年）、《哈罗德和莫德》（1971 年）、《最后的细节》（1973 年）、《洗发水》（1975 年）、《走向荣耀》（1976 年）和《在那里》（1979 年）。

他出生于犹他州奥格登的威廉·哈尔·阿什比，在一个摩门教家庭长大。作为一个功能失调的家庭的一部分，他动荡的童年包括父母离婚、父亲自杀和高中辍学。阿什比在 19 岁时结婚并离婚。

当阿什比进入成年生活时，他从犹他州搬到了加利福尼亚，在那里他很快成为了一名助理电影剪辑师。在 1967 年凭借《俄罗斯人来了，俄罗斯人来了》获得奥斯卡电影剪辑奖提名后，他的重大突破发生在 1968 年，当时他凭借《夜深人静》获奖。

在制片人诺曼·杰维森（Norman Jewison）的敦促下，阿什比于1970年执导了他的第一部电影《房东》。虽然他的出生日期使他完全属于战前一代，但这位电影制片人很快就接受了嬉皮士的生活方式，接受了素食主义并留起了长发。1970年，他与女演员琼·马歇尔（Joan Marshall）结婚。虽然他们一直结婚直到 1988 年去世，但两人在七十年代中期分居，马歇尔从未原谅阿什比以及沃伦·比蒂和罗伯特·汤恩，因为他们在洗发水中戏剧化了她生活中的某些不讨人喜欢的元素。

在接下来的 16 年里，阿什比执导了几部广受好评和受欢迎的电影，其中许多是关于局外人和冒险家穿越人生道路的故事。除了洗发水，阿什比在商业上最成功的电影是越南战争剧《回家》（1978）。由简·方达和乔恩·沃伊特主演，两人都获得了奥斯卡金像奖，正是凭借这部电影，阿什比凭借他的作品获得了奥斯卡唯一的最佳导演提名。

在《在那里》（他最后一部获得广泛关注的电影）之后，阿什比变得出了名的隐居和古怪，回到了他在马里布殖民地的家中。后来得知阿什比吸毒，他慢慢变得困难和失业。

为了扭转他日渐衰落的事业，阿什比停止吸毒，修剪头发和胡须，并开始经常穿着海军蓝色西装外套参加好莱坞派对，以暗示他再次可以就业。尽管做出了这些努力，他还是只能找到电视导演的工作。

阿什比于 1988 年 12 月 27 日在加利福尼亚州马里布的家中去世。

《最后的细节》、《走向荣耀》、《回家》和《在那里》都获得了金棕榈奖提名。

ハル・アシュビー

biography:
ハル・アシュビー（1929年9月2日 - 1988年12月27日）は、ニュー・ハリウッドの映画製作運動を代表するアメリカの映画監督、編集者です。監督業に転身する以前は、ノーマン・ジュイソン監督作品の編集を手がけ、『ロシア人が来るぞ、ロシア人が来るぞ』（1966年）でアカデミー編集賞にノミネートされ、『夜の大捜査線』（1967年）では同賞を受賞しました。

アシュビーは『帰郷』（1978年）で3度目のアカデミー監督賞ノミネートを果たしました。監督作品には、『地主』（1970年）、『ハロルドとモード』（1971年）、『ラスト・ディテール』（1973年）、『シャンプー』（1975年）、『栄光への道』（1976年）、『チャンス』（1979年）などがあります。

ウィリアム・ハル・アシュビーはユタ州オグデンで生まれ、モルモン教徒の家庭で育った。機能不全家族の一員として波乱に満ちた幼少期を過ごし、両親の離婚、父親の自殺、高校中退を経験した。19歳になるまでに結婚と離婚を繰り返した。

成人期を迎える頃、アシュビーはユタ州からカリフォルニア州に移り住み、すぐに映画編集助手となった。1967年に『ロシア人が来るぞ、ロシア人が来るぞ』でアカデミー編集賞にノミネートされた後、1968年に『夜の大捜査線』で同賞を受賞し、大きな転機を迎えた。プロデューサーのノーマン・ジュイソンの勧めで、1970年に監督デビュー作『地主』を制作。生年月日は戦前世代に属するが、彼はすぐにヒッピーのライフスタイルを取り入れ、ベジタリアンになり、髪を長く伸ばした。 1970年、彼は女優のジョーン・マーシャルと結婚した。1988年に彼が亡くなるまで夫婦関係は続いたものの、二人は1970年代半ばには別居していた。マーシャルは、映画『シャンプー』で自身の人生の好ましくない側面を誇張して描いたとして、アシュビー、ウォーレン・ベイティ、ロバート・タウンを決して許さなかった。

その後16年間、アシュビーは数々の高く評価され、人気を博した作品を監督した。その多くは、人生の道を歩むアウトサイダーや冒険家たちを描いたものだった。『シャンプー』以外で、アシュビーの最も商業的に成功した作品は、ベトナム戦争を題材にしたドラマ『帰郷』（1978年）である。ジェーン・フォンダとジョン・ヴォイトが主演し、二人ともアカデミー賞を受賞したこの作品で、アシュビーは監督として唯一、アカデミー賞監督賞にノミネートされた。『チャンス』（広く注目を集めた最後の作品）の後、アシュビーはマリブ・コロニーの自宅に引きこもり、極めて隠遁的で風変わりな人物として知られるようになった。後にアシュビーが薬物を使用していたことが判明し、彼は次第に扱いにくくなり、仕事も見つからなくなった。

低迷するキャリアを立て直そうと、アシュビーは薬物使用をやめ、髪と髭を整え、紺色のブレザーを着てハリウッドのパーティーに頻繁に出席するようになった。これは、彼が再び仕事を見つけられるようになったことを示そうとしたためである。しかし、こうした努力にもかかわらず、彼が見つけることができたのはテレビディレクターの仕事だけだった。

アシュビーは1988年12月27日、カリフォルニア州マリブの自宅で死去した。

『ラスト・ディテール』、『栄光への道』、『帰郷』、『チャンス』はいずれもパルム・ドールにノミネートされた。
