Philippe Garrel
Philippe Garrel is a French director born on April 6, 1948 in Boulogne-Billancourt. His work often reflects the protesting youth of the 1960s from which he emerged. Heavily influenced by the "underground" trend, Philippe Garrel's first feature films, produced in an artisanal manner, go against the grain of the dramaturgy and the majority financing methods of the film industry. His cinema is generally based on a very tenuous framework, a linear narrative, sets and dialogues reduced to their strict minimum and several fixed shots. The rhythm is often slow and his creations have a contemplative aesthetic that drifts, at times, towards the dreamlike. His work constitutes a coherent whole through the expression of a cinematographic "I". Indeed, his realizations often put him in scene in a series of characters conceived as alter ego on the example of François Truffaut to whom they also borrow the topic of the disturbed adolescence.
