Nelly Kaplan
Birthday: April 11, 1931 in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Deathday: November 12, 2020
Born in Argentina to a Russian Jewish family, Nelly Kaplan relocated to Paris at age seventeen, where she became an assistant to legendary director Abel Gance before directing her first feature, the caustic revenge comedy A Very Curious Girl. Transgressive, satirical, and surreal, Kaplan's films are... defined by their proactive female protagonists.
