Jacques Audiard, le cinéma à cœur
Title: Jacques Audiard, le cinéma à cœur

In eight films, Jacques Audiard has renewed French cinema, without alienating either the critics or the success.

In 1994, he directed his first film, "Regarde les hommes tomber", whose conflicting shooting was an ordeal for this misanthropic beginner. It was with "Sur mes lèvres", in 2001, that he forged his cinematographic language: contained lyricism, deliberate imperfection of images, ellipses plunging the audience into a maelstrom of sensations. With each of his films, Jacques Audiard intends to renew himself, at the cost of challenges and doubts always more vivid.
