Biography


Coming from a modest family, a Greek mother and a Russian father who distinguished himself in the Resistance, Costa-Gavras left his native Greece after high school to settle in Paris - he obtained French nationality in 1968. Student in Letters to the Sorbonne, this assiduous spectator of the Cinémathèque joined IDHEC in 1956. He discovered film sets through the assistantship, first with Giono (Croesus in 1960), then Verneuil, Demy and René Clement. It was on the set of the Day and the Hour that he met the couple Simone Signoret-Yves Montand, with whom a long intellectual and artistic bond was established. He hired the two actors on his first feature film, Compartiment killers, a thriller which was very successful in 1965.

Costa-Gavras' taste for political and historical facts appears from his second opus , Un homme de trop, devoted to the Resistance, a period he will explore again in Special Section in 1975. But it is with his third film , Z in 1969, that he forged a reputation as a great committed filmmaker. Denunciation of the Dictatorship of the Colonels in Greece - even if the country is not named - the film won 2 prizes at Cannes (including one for the composition of an opinionated judge by Jean-Louis Trintignant) and 2 Oscars. In the same vein, L 'Aveu (1971), which reviews the Stalinist trials, offers Montand, hunted down and tortured, one of his most striking roles. The last part of his political trilogy, Etat de siege (Louis Delluc Prize 1972) evokes the actions of the CIA in Latin America.

If he attempts forays into sentimental cinema (Clair de femme with Romy Schneider, after Romain Gary) or comedy (Family Council), it is in the field of political film that Costa-Gavras shows himself the most. convincing. Not hesitating to tackle hot topical issues, often through the story of individual destinies, he is interested in General Pinochet's coup d'état in Missing with Jack Lemmon (Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1982), at the Middle East conflict (Hanna K), the Ku-Klux-Klan (The Right Hand of the Devil (1987), or The Hunt for War Criminals (Music Box with Jessica Lange in 1993).

Appointed President of the Cinémathèque in 1980 (a position he held a second time from 2007), Costa-Gavras is also a producer (Le Thé au harem d'Archimède, Mon colonel). Attached to France (where he filmed La Petite Apocalypse in 1992), Costa-Gavras surrounded himself with a French team even during his frequent filming in the United States. After criticizing the scoop hunt in Mad City with Dustin Hoffman in 1996, the director signed the controversial Amen in 2001. (César for Best Screenplay in 2003), in which he denounces the Vatican's silence on the extermination of the Jews. Tireless defender of human rights and defender of injustice, he chooses the form of the thriller to attack the economic horror (Le Couperet, 2005) and dares an Odyssey of modern times to evoke the fate of the exiles (Eden à l'Ouest, 2009)
