PARIS - Veteran French filmmaker Alain Resnais, a star of the New Wave movement who went on to make close to 50 movies, has died aged 91, his producer told AFP on Sunday.

Resnais, whose play-within-a-film "Life of Riley" (Aimer, boire et chanter) won a prize for innovation at the Berlin Film Festival last month, died in Paris Saturday evening "surrounded by his family," said his producer Jean-Louis Livi. — Agence France-Presse
