May 25, 1925, Boulogne-Billancourt, Haut-de-Seine, France - October 5, 2012, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France - French screenwriter, film director, producer.
Started as a costume designer and assistant director. In particular, he assisted Henri Verneuil on the set of The Monkey in Winter and Claude Lelouch on the set of Adventure is an Adventure. He also co-wrote scripts for Lelush's films "The Man I Like" (1969) and "The Fraud" (1970).
Has directed several short films. He directed his first feature film Le Silencieux, starring Lino Ventura, in 1973.
In 1974 he shot a second film - "Slap" ("La Gifle") - with the same Ventura, Annie Girardeau, as well as Isabelle Adjani, to whom this film brought wide fame and the Italian film award "David di Donatello" as the best foreign actress debutante. Pinoto received the Louis Delluc Prize for the film.
Apart from Slap in the Face, the director's greatest success was the films Boom (1980) and Boom 2 (1982), which became the debut for actress Sophie Marceau.
In 1988, Pinoto again directed the film L'Etudiante with Sophie Marceau, but the film was not officially announced as a sequel to the two parts of Boom (and did not have the same success).
In 2005, the director acted as a documentary filmmaker, making a film about Abbot Pierre - "Un abbe nomme Pierre, une vie pour les autres" ("Abbot Pierre: living for others").
