Another movie master is gone...
Early this morning, Jean Jacques Beineix, a well-known director and one of the "three genius directors in France", died at his home in Paris on Thursday, at the age of 75.
I believe that for many people who are familiar with movies, especially French films, the name Jean-Jacques Benécés is not unfamiliar,
Jean-Jacques Benécés was born in Paris in 1946. As a young man, he was a medical student and an avid fan. Later, in the 1970s, he began to enter the film and television industry as an assistant director, but his ultimate dream was to direct his own films.
Finally, in the early 80s, Jean-Jacques Benécés began to emerge.
Two other newcomer directors of the same period also released their debuts, Luc Besson and Leos Carax, who together led a wave of postmodern cinema.
Luc Besson
Leo Carax
Later, these three people were collectively called "the three genius directors of France".
However, compared to the prolificity of director Luc Besson, Jean-Jacques Benécques's film work is more like a point to the point.
His work can be counted on two hands.
In 1980, Jean-Jacques Benécés unveiled his first work, Diva, about a young postman obsessed with opera diva, with which he made a blockbuster debut that stunned the whole of France.
The film also became the originator of the "Neo-Baroque style", and also had a certain influence on two other rookie Directors of French cinema of the same period, as was Luc Besson's "Underground".
He then released his second work (Moon in the Gutter) in 1983.
But the film's response was very different from the first, with critics calling the work a vacuous content, a weak story, a poor performance, and even booed at the premiere of that year's Cannes Film Festival...
After the ups and downs ahead, in 1986, Betty Blue came out.
The stills of the heroine wearing a red dress in the film have amazed countless people, and the dazzling bright colors are like wild roses.
When it comes to the movie "Wild Rose of Paris", we have to mention another name for it, which is also the name of the original novel" "37 ° 2". It is said that the reason for this name is because a person's normal body temperature is 37 degrees, and the body temperature will rise slightly by 0.2 degrees after encountering love, which also represents the beginning of the love between the male and female protagonists in the film.
"I've met a lot of people, someone who made me have a fever, and I thought it was love, and it burned everything out; someone made me chill and disappeared into life; someone made me feel warm, but it was only warm; only you, let my body temperature rise by 0.2 °C." 」
This work is known as the most romantic love movie in film history, and it was so hot that even the movie soundtrack CD was robbed of being sold out...
Someone once commented on this film, saying, "Why are the French good at describing love, because they always know the most charming appearance of love, even if it is not sad, I am afraid it will be unforgettable." ”
In addition, "The Wild Rose of Paris" also made the name Jean-Jacques Benéx from France to the world, becoming the masterpiece of his life.
Later, he also directed works such as "IP5 Psychedelic Highway" and "Addiction to Death", in addition to his role as a director, he was also a writer, screenwriter and producer.
Now, when you hear the news of his death,
Netizens have shared and recalled the film works he has directed:
Sorry to hear the news of the death of Jean-Jacques Benécés, "Red Men at the Opera" is one of my favorite films and highly recommend it.
Rest in peace Jean-Jacques Benex, your film work will live on forever.
This is probably the best memorial to him.
