About Jean Jacques Beineix
- Jean-Jacques Beineix ([b?n?ks]; born 8 October 1946) is a French film director and generally seen as the best example of what came to be called the cinéma du look.
- Critic Ginette Vincendeau defined the films made by Beineix and others as "youth-oriented films with high production values...The look of the cinéma du look refers to the films' high investment in non-naturalistic, self-conscious aesthetics, notably intense colours and lighting effects.
- Their spectacular (studio based) and technically brilliant mise-en-scène is usually put to the service of romantic plots." The cinéma du look included the films of Luc Besson and Léos Carax.
- Luc Besson, like Beineix, was much maligned by the critical establishment during the 1980s, while Carax was much admired.
- In late 2006, Beineix published a first volume of his autobiography, Les Chantiers de la gloire (in French only).
- The title alluded to the French title of Stanley Kubrick's film, Les Sentiers de la gloire (Paths of Glory).
