Life

Jacques Doillon began his career as an assistant editor, and several short films followed as a director. His first own feature film followed in 1974 with Die Finger im Kopf . Over 30 more films followed in over 30 years. His films were nominated for the Palme d'Or , the Golden Bear and the Golden Lion , among others , but only won smaller film awards at major festivals. Doillon especially prefers children and young people for his leading roles in order to use them to reflect the problems of growing up in his films, for example with the film A Woman at 15 . In 1996 he caused a sensation at the Venice Film Festival, when he gave the then four-year-old Victoire Thivisol the lead role in his film Ponette . She was named Best Actress in Venice. His best-known and most successful films also include: Der kleine Gangster (1990) and Der Junge Werther (1993).
