Director Information For LA VIE DES MORTS (plays with L'AIMEE)
Arnaud Desplechin
Popularly known for MY SEX LIFE (OR HOW I GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT), French filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin is the recipient of many awards, including the Prix Tournage at the Avignon Film Festival. Several complete retrospectives have showcased his work. A CHRISTMAS TALE is his eighth film as a director.
Two lesser-known works by the master of contemporary French cinema showcase his versatility and explore themes of family and transition: his award-winning debut LA VIE DES MORTS tells the story of a reunion built on a tragedy, and the documentary L'AIMEE reconstructs his own family's past.
