Patrice Énard

Directing Sep 17, 1945 Jun 1, 2008 (aged 63) Bordeaux, Gironde, France

Énard made his first short films in the mid-1960s. From the outset, his provocative style, stripped of all psychology, attests to the fact that he was part of the generation that launched the French protests of May ‘68. Invested in the dialectic of disobedience, his films constantly question their immersion in the ideological context of the time, in order to better escape it. Énard’s cinematic expression evolved toward a fundamentally analytical and experimental form of cinema. Driven by his increasingly personal reflections, he developed his own language and perfected it through the prism of an atypical, radical esthetic. His later films could be described as a form of cinema-poetry. He raised the bar higher and higher.
