Complete filmography
BiographyAfter graduating from the I.D.H.E.C. film school, Gérard Krawczyk directed three short films between 1981 and 1984, all nominated for Cesar awards. The first, “The Subtle Concept” won him 8 international prizes including the Grand Prix at the Montreal World Film Festival. His second short film, “Toro Moreno,” was awarded the Grand Prix for a Comedy at the Chamrousse Festival, and his third short, “Homicide by Night,” took out the Grand Prix at the Rennes Fantasy Film Festival in 1984. He made his feature film debut in 1986 with “I Hate Actors,” starring Jean Poiret, Michel Blanc and Bertrand Blier. This film was nominated for a Cesar and won the Michel Audiard Prize. “L ‘Eté en pente douce,” which he directed in 1987, features Jean-Pierre Bacri, Jacques Villeret, Pauline Laffont and Guy Marchand. Since 1988 he has directed some fifty commercials and corporate films, and in 1992 he won the Bronze Lion Award at the International Cannes Advertising Film Festival. From 1990 to 1994, Krawczyk cowrote numerous screenplays. These include, for television, “Strangers dans la nuit,” directed by Sylvain Madigan, and for the cinema, “La petite marchande de prose” together with Daniel Pennac, “My Life in Pink” with Thierry Jonquet, as well as “Paradise Blues” and “Pray For Us.” In 1997, he directed “Héroïnes,” starring Virginie Ledoyen, and was assistant director to Luc Besson on “The Messenger: The story of Joan of Arc.” “Taxi 2” is his latest feature film, and stars Sami Naceri, Frédéric Diefenthal and Marion Cotillard. It was released in France on March 29, 2000 and rose to the top of the box office, attracting over 10 million spectators.
