Benoît Jacquot
Born in 1947, Benoît Jacquot began his career as assistant director to Bernard Borderie before working for Marguerite Duras, Marcel Carné and Roger Vadim. He started out in television before making mostly documentaries and adaptations of literary works – his first film, The Musician Killer brought a novel by Dostoevsky to the screen. As well as dramatising operas and adaptations of shows for the small screen, his documentaries include films about the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, the choreographer Merce Cunningham and the writer Marguerite Duras. In 2013, he was awarded three Cesars for Farewell, My Queen.
