Complete filmography

Biography

Before making his first feature film, "Delicatessen," Jean-Pierre Jeunet directed numerous short films, including "L’Evasion" ("The Escape") in 1978, "Le Manège" in 1980 (animated films), "Le Bunker de la dernière raffale" ("The Bunker of the Last Gunshots," a medium-length film, in 1981) and "Pas de repos pour Billy Brakko" in 1984. In 1990, he directed "Foutaises" ("Things I Like, Things I Don’t Like"). The film was presented at several film festivals and won many awards. At the same time, Jeunet worked on numerous music videos for artists such as Julien Clerc, Etienne Daho, Jean-Michel Jarrre and Lio, and also directed TV commercials. In 1991, he co-directed "Delicatessen" with Marc Caro. The film was a major commercial hit in France and abroad. It won 4 Cesar awards, including Best First Film, and also picked up the Youth Cinema Award at the Tokyo Film Festival, the Georges Beauregard Prize, the Youth Grand Prix as well as a host of awards at film festivals, such as Chicago, Florence, Stockholm and Porto. In 1995, his second feature (co-directed with Marc Caro), "The City of Lost Children," opened the Cannes Film Festival. In 1996, Jean-Pierre Jeunet headed for the United States, where he directed the 4th Alien movie, "Alien, the Resurrection." He thus directed stars such as Sigourney Weaver and Winona Rider as well as actor Dominique Pinon, who has featured in all his films. Jean-Pierre Jeunet has recently completed "Amelie," a fairy tale starring the young actress Audrey Tautou (winner of a Cesar for Most Promising Actress).
