| biography:
| Film director, born in Paris, France. He worked his way up in film, television, and promotional video before making his first feature film, Le Dernier combat (1983), filmed in monochrome, and virtually dispensing with dialogue. He followed this with Subway (1985), starring Isabelle Adjani and Christophe Lambert, a thriller set largely in the labyrinthine tunnels of the Paris Métro. His film Le Grand Bleu (1988), panned by critics and loved by adolescents, became a cult film of the 1980s. Later films include Nikita (1990), Atlantis (1991), Leon (1994), and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999). |
