Leos Carax

Very little is known about Léos Carax, a troubled and hidden personality, and when there is information, it is often confused with the history of his films.

At the end of the 70s / beginning of the 80s, at the faculty of Jussieu, where he took courses as a free auditor, Serge Daney and Jaques Toubiana introduced him to the Cahiers du Cinéma. He will only make a very short stint there, more interested in "inventing women" in the cinema, and embarks on the production of his first short film, "La Fille Rêvée". Shot on system D, the film is shot aborted when a projector explodes, setting fire to the restaurant used for a scene. But at 19, his second essay Strangulations Blues already revealed unparalleled technical qualities, which earned him a Grand Prix for short films at the Hyères festival in 1981.

His meeting with Alain Dahan, producer, launched him into the long run. footage. From their collaboration will be born the trilogy of "the complicated meeting", first with Boy meets girl (1984). The story of a tortuous love between Alex and Mireille, the first mark of an abrasive universe, it is also the first collaboration with Denis Lavant - whom some consider to be the filmmaker's alter-ego - joined by Juliette Binoche for Mauvais sang (1986) and Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (1991). For the latter, Léos Carax demands the total reconstitution of the Pont-Neuf district around ... Montpellier. It was the start of a chaotic production, where filming accidents, the author's megalomania and mismanagement pushed up the budget from 36 to 200 million francs, a record; and discourage several producers, including Alain Dahan. When the film is born after three years of twists and turns, it is a commercial failure (below 900,000 admissions).

Pola X (1998), dark, violent and raw adaptation of "Pierre ou les ambigités"Herman Melville, far from going up his commercial side, sparked a lively controversy at the Cannes film festival, where Carax was whistled a year before Gaspar Noé and his Irreversible. The film nevertheless finishes consecrating Carax as a major author, whose reputation is nourished by a secret and megalomaniac romanticism. The 2000s mark the beginning of a comeback for the filmmaker, once again loved by critics and some die-hards. In 2004, he even obtained, a rare privilege, a carte blanche at the Cinémathèque Française. But if the Parisian intelligentsia adores him, the producers are struggling to trust him again. After a small program for the Vienna Film Festival in 2006 (My Last Minute), he only really returned to cinema in 2008, with Tokyo !,. This film, produced in collaboration with Michel Gondry and Joon-ho Bong, also marks the birth of the character of Monsieur Merde, played by the eternal accomplice Denis Lavant.

Multiplying projects aborted for lack of money (like "The Beast"), Leos Carax only manages to express himself through the small roles he plays, in 977 and Mister Lonely by Harmony Korine, or through collective projects, such as 42 One Dream Rush (2009), for which he rubs shoulders with other sulphurous directors such as Larry Clark, Gaspar Noé or Asia Argento. A very sad artistic survival for one of the greatest hopes of French cinema of the 1990s. The crossing of the desert ended in 2012, when he directed his new feature film, Holy Motors. Radical and daring, the film marks the return of the character of Monsieur Merde (again Denis Lavant), and definitely caused a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was presented in Competition. Despite his looks of favorites, he won no prize, but marked the return of Leos Carax in the fold of cinematographic creation.
