Director

Alain Jessua

Alain Jessua (b. 16 January, 1932) made an impressive start as a director, winning the Prix Jean Vigo award for his short film Lion la Lune (Leo Moon, 1956), and critical acclaim for his first feature La Vie à l’envers (Life Upside Down, 1964). Subsequent films, such as Jeu de massacre (The Killing Game, 1967) and En toute innocence (No Harm Intended, 1988), have appeared infrequently, but are always highly imaginative and thought provoking. —newwavefilm.com
