Jean-Marie Poiré worked in film at a period when the medium itself was still changing shape.
The record lists Jean-Marie Poiré as French film director.
Jean-Marie Poiré was born at 17th arrondissement of Paris in 1945. His recorded nationality is France.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
He worked as film director, screenwriter and film producer.
The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour (1996).
That the work was made from France shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
