Bertrand Blie Biography

The director, the screenwriter was born: he is often called the director-provocateur, master of shocking, who "legalized" many, previously forbidden topics. Everything is so. But the main features of his cinema are inner freedom, the lack of stamps, a vast fantasy, the ability to look at banal situations from an unexpected side, the real vitality and a wonderful sense of humor of “directing is an eternal game, eternal fun”.

Most of these qualities inherited him - from his father, wonderful artist Bernard Blie. Bertrand grew behind the scenes of the theater, and his father also brought him to the set, having attached the director to the film by Patris Lekont. Bertrand Blier admitted that, working on the site with the actors, he seemed to hear his father: “Are they not beautiful? Tell them to keep naturally to believe in themselves and utter their text.

That's all that is required of them. ” He transferred love for his father to all people of this profession and in M ​​put a charming picture “Actors” with the participation of all French celebrities. He was happy when, shooting at the beginning of the X glorifying him “waltzing”, he realized that he had found “my” department, Patrick Devaer, Miu-Miu. And he even planned that he would work with them all his life - now separately, then with everyone together.

A tender attitude towards these actors does not prevent him from constantly staring at the department and bitterly joke about the addiction of Devaer who committed suicide to firearms. In a word, he is a very "acting" director. In his films there are no special effects, mass scenes and tricks. He, a brilliant writer and screenwriter, is strong in another - in the creation of fascinating stories, “delicious” dialogs, non -standard characters, in an organic combination of funny and sad, eccentric and psychological depths.

For actors, he creates roles-gifts. Anuk Greenberg became a celebrity, starring in three of his films. Josian Balasco in “too beautiful for you” played her best role-an absurd secretary, whom her boss passionately loved, forgetting about her wife, an artisistocracy.

Blue and Balasko are not only colleagues, but also big friends. In m, he put one of his most scandalous paintings “Evening Dress”. But he led not his wife, but a husband. Ten years later, Balasko “answered” the “French twist”, in which Victoria Abril, Alena Shaba, seduced the lesbian herself in the guise of a lesbian. About the picture "Hiroshima, my love! I don't know this.
