Spotlight: Jacques Audiard


Jacques Audiard finally gained worldwide attention last year for his academy nominate film A Prophet. I had discovered him a few years earlier, and he has since become one of my favorite directors. The French in general are notorious for their ability to interject far more intelligence in their action films than us yankees, but in my opinion, Mr.Audiard has absolutely mastered that art. His films are often times brutal, but always honest and thoughtful. While A Prophet totally lived up to the hype, heres trailers for his films The Beat My Heart Skipped and Read My Lips, which are both wonderful.

yes, its in french, just trust me.
