Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a French filmmaker. His films combine fantasy, realism, and science fiction to create idealized realities or elevate mundane situations. He debuted as a director with the critically acclaimed 1991 black comedy Delicatessen, co-directed with Marc Caro. They collaborated again on The City of Lost Children (1995). His work in science fiction and horror led him to direct Alien Resurrection (1997), the fourth installment of the Alien franchise, and thus far only experience with American cinema. His greatest triumph came in 2001 with Amélie, a whimsical and visually inventive film that earned him international acclaim. The film was a commercial sensation, selling over eight million tickets in France alone, and won four César Awards, including Best Film and Best Director. Jeunet is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in contemporary French cinema. His success has earned him two Academy Award nominations.
