Jacques Audiard

Jacques Audiard made his mark in 2009 with A Prophet, a film that redefined the canons of the European thriller, and with which, in addition to sweeping the Césars, he took home the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and was nominated for an Oscar. His career began in the 1980s, writing screenplays for films such as The Professional, Réveillon chez Bob and Saxo, among others. He made his directorial debut in 1994 with See How They Fall, and quickly began to reap success, becoming a regular at the César Awards for his successive films, including A Self Made Hero (1996), The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005), A Prophet (2009), Rust and Bone (2012), Dheepan (2015, Palme d'Or at Cannes) and The Sisters Brothers (2018). His film Paris, 13th District premiered in the Official Selection at Cannes, where it won the award for Best Soundtrack.
