He is one of the greatest exponents of French auteur cinema. His films draw on the great references of the Nouvelle Vague, but he transports the language to new dimensions, always alongside iconic figures such as Juliette Binoche, Catherine Deneuve or Denis Lavant, with whom he works on most of them. Among his filmography are The Night Is Young, awarded in Berlin; Holy Motors, winner of the Golden Hugo in Chicago, or Annette, award for Best Director in Cannes and at the Césars. Among other honorary recognitions, in 2012 he received the Leopard of Honor in Locarno.
