He turned Brigitte Bardot into a global sex symbol with a single film, then spent three decades proving he could wrap eros in high-gloss cinema better than almost anyone working in France.

About this person

Roger Vadim Plemiannikov was born in Paris on 26 January 1928 and grew up to work as a screenwriter, director, producer, author, artist, and occasional actor. In 1956 he released And God Created Woman, a visually lavish film with erotic qualities that made waves far beyond France. He continued in that vein with Blood and Roses in 1960, The Game Is Over in 1966, Barbarella in 1968, and Pretty Maids All in a Row in 1971. His films became signatures of a certain kind of chic provocation: beautiful to look at, unafraid of desire, pitched somewhere between art and appetite. He died on 11 February 2000.
