Christian Vincent (born November 5, 1955 in Paris ) is a French film director and screenwriter.

Life

Vincent grew up in a suburb of Paris. Films like Die Spielregel (1939) and Die Mama und die Hure (1970) made him want to become a filmmaker. He studied sociology and film and also graduated from 1979 to 1982 at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (DHEC). In 1983 he made his first short film Il ne faut jurer de rien . Fabrice Luchini took on the lead role in the black and white film . Vincent's second short film, Classique , won an actor's award at the Festival du Court-Métrage de Clermont-Ferrand in 1986 ; His third short film La part maudite also received an award. During that time, Vincent also worked as an assistant editor for Max Pécas films and worked for the news of the regional television station France 3 Nord-Pas de Calais .

Vincent cast Luchini in his feature-length directorial debut Die Schwewiegene , in which a man (Luchini) seduces a woman ( Judith Henry ) for a book project and then deliberately abandons it, but fails. The film won a FIPRESCI award at the International Critics' Week of the Venice Film Festival in 1990 , Vincent received the 1991 award for the best film from the Syndicat Français de la Critique de Cinéma et des Films de Télévision and also won two Césars in 1991 , including the award for the best first work . In 1999, Vincent received a nomination for a Satellite Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the divorce drama Separation, starring Daniel Auteuil and Isabelle Huppert .

In addition to dramas, Vincent also shoots comedies, including the crooksome like it rich and the film The Cook and the President, based on the true story of François Mitterrand's cook Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch . On the occasion of the premiere of Some like it rich at the Berlinale 2006 , he was described as a “specialist in films in which bold plans are regularly destroyed by the coincidences of life”. With Les complices based on a novel by Georges Simenon , Vincent's first work for television followed in 2013, before another movie with L'hermine in 2015 . The tragic comedy about a judge (Fabrice Luchini), who in one case recognized a former secret love in a jury member, was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 2015 Venice Film Festival and won the screenplay award.
