Luc Besson

Luc Besson is a french director, writer and producer.

He has worked on more than 50 movies, although he "only" directed 15 of them.

He is one of the three french directors credited with creating the french "cinéma du look", a french film movement of the 1980s whose films favoured style over substance. At least thats what the critics say. They often featured young people, often in love with each other, lost in urban Paris.
