André Téchiné

Biography

André Téchiné (born 13 March 1943) is a French screenwriter and film director. He has a long and distinguished career that places him among the most accomplished post-New Wave French film directors.

Téchiné belongs to a second generation of French film critics associated with Cahiers du cinéma who followed François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard and others from criticism into filmmaking. He is noted for his elegant and emotionally charged films that often delve into the complexities of emotions and the human condition. One of Téchiné's trademarks is the lyrical examination of human relations in a sensitive but unsentimental way, as can be seen in his most acclaimed films: My Favorite Season (1993) and Wild Reeds (1994).

In his films he addresses various themes related to morality and the development of modern society, such as homosexuality, divorce, adultery, family breakdown, prostitution, crime, drug addiction or AIDS.

Biography

D'abord critique aux Cahiers du cinéma (1964-68), il fait ses débuts en tant que réalisateur avec Paulina s'en va, portrait émouvant de l'actrice Bulle Ogier. Mais il considère lui-même que sa véritable entrée dans le cinéma s'opère avec Souvenirs d'en France, un long métrage influencé par Bertolt Brecht qui lui vaut les éloges de Roland Barthes (lequel apparaîtra en Thackeray dans Les Sœurs Brontë en 1979). Avec le soutien de grandes vedettes comme Jeanne Moreau, Gérard Depardieu, Marie-France Pisier, Isabelle Adjani, Isabelle Huppert ou plus tard Juliette Binoche, Emmanuelle Béart, Daniel Auteuil et Michel Blanc, qui ont tous reconnu en lui un directeur d'acteurs exceptionnel, il invente un cinéma personnel, d'un romantisme flamboyant et farouchement anti-naturaliste. À partir d'Hôtel des Amériques en 1981, il commence à tourner avec Catherine Deneuve, qui reste l'une de ses actrices fétiches.
