The films “37.2 Le matin” and “Diva”, released in the 80s, marked their era. Their director, Jean-Jacques Beineix, is dead Thursday, January 13 following a long illness, at the age of 75.
John Jacques Beineix died Thursday January 13 In the evening. He was 75 years old. He will forever remain the filmmaker who made a perfect stranger, Béatrice Dalle, a movie star. Adapted from a novel by Philippe Djian, 37.2 Morning will be one of the greatest successes of French cinema. In 1980, the first film by Jean-Jacques Beineix with Richard Bohringer, Diva, had already caused a sensation. Beinex wanted to make a blue film, like the first Picassos.
He won four Caesars, but some fierce critics denounce a shoddy aestheticism. In 1983, The Moon in the Gutter, with Gérard Depardieu will even be whistled at Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes). The fashion Beinex passed, the director will never recover from this failure. Roselyn and the lions and even IP5: pachyderm island, Yves Montand’s latest film, will not find their audience.
