At La Fémis, a prestigious Parisian film school, which trains professionals in the audiovisual and cinema professions, students and teachers pay tribute to the brilliant provocateur.

“He’s kind of the ideal man, smiles a student. He is someone who has completely reinvented editing: very abrupt cuts, who keeps things that are not necessarily connectable on a theoretical level, but which in fact, on an emotional level, respond very well.
