Complete filmography
BiographyRomain Goupil made his cinema debut by directing two short films, "L¹Exclu" (1968) and "Ibizarre" (1969). From 1970 to 1973, he worked as an assistant cameraman. He was then assistant to numerous directors from 1974 to 1990: Robert Menegoz, Nelly Kaplan, Jacques Deray, Coluche, Chantal Akerman, Roman Polanski and Jean-Luc Godard. Meanwhile, Goupil directed a short film, "Coluche Président," about Coluche's candidacy in the 1981 French presidential elections. He won the Caméra d¹Or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival for his first feature "Mourir à trente ans," which was also awarded the César for Best First Feature. His second film, "La Java des ombres," was released in 1983. He again made short films in 1987, directing "Je sais pas, je sais pas" and "Madame Lita." He then made a short "Je me souviens pas," and a feature "Maman" in 1989. From 1990 until 1996, he divided his time between television ("Parking," 1991, "Paris est à nous," 1994 and "Sa vie à elle," winner of the 1996 Prix Europa), shorts ("Against Oblivion or Lest We Forget," 1990, "Les Petits amants," 1993 and "Lettre pour eux," 1995) and features ("Letter for LŠ," 1993). Romain Goupil has also written two novels, "Lundi c'est sodomie" (1996) and "A mort la mort !" (1998), on which his fifth feature is based.
