Jean-Jacques Beineix

Cinema sometimes involves deep relationships and brutal ruptures. I met Jean-Jacques Beineix in 1980 while shooting Diva, and we began a true friendship that lasted several years, but our diverging professional paths unfortunately did it in, as is often the case in our profession.

With Jean-Jacques Beineix’s passing, we have lost a filmmaker who marked his generation with an aesthetic derived from 1980s advertising.
