Complete filmography

Short film director, screenwriter, critic with "Cahiers du Cinéma" from 1980 to 1986, and author of film books such as "Hong Kong Cinéma" (1984) and "Conversation avec Bergman" (1986), ),"Kenneth Anger - Vraie et fausse magie au cinéma," Olivier Assayas collaborated with André Téchiné to write the screenplays for "Rendezvous" (1984) and "Scene of the Crime" (1985). In 1986, he directed his own first feature, "Désordre" (International Critics' Prize, Venice Film Festival). In subsequent films — "Winter's Child" (1989), "Paris Awakens" (1991, Jean Vigo Prize), "A New Life" (1993) and "Cold Water" (1994, selected for Cannes) — his characters were young post-adolescents going through a period of soul-searching, sharing the same world as the characters in the films of Téchiné and François Truffaut. In 1996, Assayas directed "Irma Vep," a movie constructed around its central character Maggie Cheung, and in 1997, "HHH - Portrait de Hou Hsiao-hsien," a documentary focusing on the great Taiwanese film director. Two films, two approaches to cinema: the first is a comedy in an experimental style that fully assumes its mocking stance; the second attempts to grasp the ties between a person's life and his work. In 1999, he returned to his roots with "Late August, Early September." Screenwriter Assayas has adapted a novel for the first time (in collaboration with Jacques Fieschi), Jacques Chardonne's "Les destinées sentimentales," with Emmanuelle Béart, Charles Berling and Isabelle Huppert. The film was presented in the official competition at the 2000 Cannes International Film Festival.
