Lucile Hadzihalilovic
Lucile Hadzihalilovic , also Hadžihalilović , (born May 7, 1961 in Lyon ) is a French director and screenwriter .
Life
After studying art history, she then studied directing at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) in Paris . After her first short film La première mort de Nono (1987) she worked as an editor of documentaries and producer of short films. In 1997 she made La bouche de Jean-Pierre , the story of a young person who is taken in by her aunt after her mother attempts suicide. At the Cannes Film Festival , La bouche de Jean-Pierre was selected in the Un Certain Regard series , and then in French cinemas.
Two more films followed. First in 1998, Good Boys Use Condoms , a short film made as part of an advertising campaign for condoms, then Innocence , Lucile Hadzihalilovic's first feature film. Innocence is loosely based on Frank Wedekind's story Mine-Haha or On the Physical Education of Young Girls . The film tells the story of the six-year-old girl Iris, who grows up in a boarding school where obedience and discipline are paramount. The building is pervaded by an unreal fear of the outside world, but the girl is slowly getting used to her new life. Lucile Hadzihalilovic's work is closely linked to the work of Gaspar Noé , her partner and close collaborator. In 1991 they founded the production company "Les cinémas de la zone", with which they produce their own short films, among other things. The films of the two have a lot in common. A certain fascination for the dark and for destructive relationships between people, who are always viewed with a very accurate point of view, is particularly typical.
