Career
In 1938, a friend of Natteau’s, the legendary French film director, Jean Renoir, gave him his first job as assistant camera man for the film La Bête humaine. But his career was interrupted by the onset of World War II.
After the war, he resumed his career in the late 1940s and went on to become one of Europe's most famous directors of photography in the 1950s and 1960s.
He served as lighting cinematographer for such French luminaries as Jean Renoir, Claude Autant-Lara, Marc Allegret, Marcel Carne and Jules Dassin. Among the great films to his credit as lighting director are He Who Must Die, Never on Sunday, Phaedra, and Le Comte de Monte Cristo.
