Mini biography
Olivier Assayas (January 25, 1955, Paris, France)
In the ’90s Olivier Assayas emerged as one of the key figures in the new generation of French filmmakers.
As a former critic for Cahiers du Cinema and a die-hard cinephile, he makes his films both personal and referential to the works of directors that he adores.
His father was a director/screenwriter in the 1940s who later worked mainly for TV.
When it was increasingly difficult for him to work because of a health condition, Olivier started to help him, first merely as a secretary, and then ghostwriting a few screenplays for the Maigret TV series.
“With Irma Vep, all of a sudden I decided that it was okay to mix genre, to mix cultures, and that movies sometimes could be experiments, that within the format of modern cinema, within the format of narrative, you could experiment by mixing elements.”
In the late 1970s he joined the team of influential film magazine Cahiers du Cinema, that once launched the French New Wave.
While working for Cahiers he wrote essays on his favorite European filmmakers, Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, and published extensive studies on American horror films and Hong Kong Cinema (the latter came out long before Hong Kong cinema became fashionable with Western filmgoers and critics).
He collaborated on screenplays of two André Téchiné films, Rendez-Vous and Le Lieu du Crime, and directed a few shorts before making his feature debut in 1986 with Desordre.
Though his films enjoyed considerable critical acclaim in France and at international film festivals, his name was virtually unknown in English-speaking countries until the release of his 1996 film Irma Vep, a loving tribute both to Louis Feuillade and Hong Kong cinema.
Still faithful to his critical roots, he later directed a documentary on Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien. -- allmovie
