BIOGRAPHY OF JACQUES AUDIARD
Jacques Audiard was born in Paris on April 30, 1952 and, before taking the road of cinema and becoming a director with a hat on his head and dark glasses, he caressed the idea of becoming a teacher. Destiny, however, leads him to abandon his university studies in favor of film sets, giving him the opportunity to be assistant director to Roman Polanski and of Patrice Chéreau. In the 80s Audiard he engages in writing a series of screenplays, collaborating for example on the script of My sweet killer, who signs with his father Michel Audiard, well-known dialogue writer, screenwriter and director. The debut behind the camera takes place in 1994 with Regarde les hommes tomber, a road movie with Mathieu Kassovitz is Jean-Louis Trintignant. Presented at Cannes in the International Critics’ Week section, the film won three César awards a few months later. In ’96 the director returned to direct Kassovitz and Trintignant in Un héros très discret, the story of a man who pretends to be a hero of the resistance. Also this work is accepted in the programming of the Cannes Film Festival, but in competition, winning the prize for the best screenplay. For the next four years, Audiard takes a vacation from the camera, devoting himself mostly to the work of screenwriter. According to many, the wait is worth it, because the next On my lips (2001) turns out to be a film with a strong impact. Love story between a deaf girl and a former prisoner entrusted to the talent of Emmanuelle Devos and Vincent Cassel, the film wins three Césars. Jacques Audiard’s cinema ceases to be a niche product to become a reference point for European filmmakers with All the beats of my heart (2005), which wins eight French Oscars, including that for best director, the Best Picture and Best Actor, the latter went to Romain Duris. If this film – like the previous one – is not selected by major international festivals, Audiard is assured of a new participation in Cannes thanks to Il profeta (2009), a prison drama and coming-of-age novel starring a young Maghrebi delinquent. Not surprisingly, the director wins the Grand Prix and part of the credit goes to actor Tahar Rahim. Also this time Jacques Audiard is covered by a shower of César. In the next film Audiard takes a less hard road, opening up to the love feeling and letting some tenderness filter through. Defined as a social melodrama, A Taste of Rust and Bones (2012) focuses on the relationship between a woman who lost her legs in a tragic accident and a man who gets by as best he can. Despite the general applause and the interpretation of Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts, the director does not come out triumphant at the Cannes Film Festival and at the Césars he sees himself stolen from Amour by Michael Haneke, already recipient of the Palme d’Or. To take it home, Jacques Audiard will only have to wait three years: in 2015 the international jury chaired by the Coen brothers in fact decides to bestow the highest recognition of the French event thanks to Dheepan, portrait of three Sinhalese who emigrated to the Parisian suburb who must pretend to be a family.
