Louis Delluc Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Louis Delluc Prize ( Prix ​​Louis Delluc ) is a French national film award .

history

The award is named after the French film critic and director Louis Delluc (1890-1924) and was first awarded in 1937 on the initiative of the two journalists Maurice Bessy and Marcel Idzkowski . The Louis Delluc Prize, often referred to as the " Goncourt Prize of the Cinema" ( "le prix Goncourt du cinéma" ), is awarded to the best French cinema production of the current year on the second Thursday in December. Since 2000, first films by film directors have also received awards separately. The jury is made up of around twenty film critics and well-known filmmakers from French cinema, with the annual chairmanship of the film director and critic Gilles Jacob , incumbent President of the Cannes Film Festival . The winners are always advised and honored in the Parisian restaurant Le Fouquet's on the Champs-Élysées .

The films that have received awards in the past always combined artistic aspects of filmmaking with auteur cinema and the tastes of the cinema audience. The winners include renowned filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard (1987) and Claude Chabrol (2000) and, before the introduction of the Best First Work category , debut directors such as Jean-Paul Rappeneau (1965) and Sandrine Veysset (1996). The most honored director is Alain Resnais , who received the Louis Delluc Prize in 1966, 1993 and 1997. He was followed with two wins each by Louis Malle (1957 and 1987), Michel Deville (1967 and 1988) and Claude Sautet (1969 and 1995).

Several times in the past, namely in 1962, 1987, 1990, 1997 and 2003, the jury was unable to decide on a winning film. A few productions were also selected that had not yet opened in French cinemas at the time of the award ceremony, as happened in 1982 with the appointment of Andrzej Wajda's biopic Danton , which was only published in France the following January. 1947, 1961, 2002 and 2008 with Nicole Vedrès ' Paris 1900 , François Reichenbach's With My Eyes , Nicolas Philibert's Being and Having and Raymond Depardon's Neue Zeiten documentaries prevailed. In 1979, Paul Grimault's The King and the Bird, an animation film to date was voted the best French film of the year.

Award winners

At the last award ceremony on December 15, 2014, the jury preferred Olivier Assayas ' The Clouds of Sils Maria . The drama sat against 3 cœurs by Benoît Jacquot , Adieu au langage by Jean-Luc Godard , Au bord du monde by Claus Drexel , Bird People by Pascale Ferran , Eastern Boys by Robin Campillo , Saint Laurent by Bertrand Bonello and the later César Winner Timbuktu by Abderrahmane Sissako .
