Biography
Jean Becker (b. 1938, Paris) started his career in the film industry as an assistant to his father Jacques, but he also cooperated with Julien Duvivier and Henri Verneuil. At the beginning of the 1960s he started directing independently and cast Jean-Paul Belmondo in a number of crime films (A Man Named Rocca and Tender Scoundrel). After a nearly 20-year pause he returned with the film One Deadly Summer in 1983, a portrait of a girl looking for the criminals who raped her mother years before (which won four national César awards). More than 10 years later, Becker won acclaim for his psychological drama Elisa, with Vanessa Paradis and Gérard Depardieu in the lead roles. His filmography also includes: Children of the Marshlands (Les enfants du marais, 1999), A Crime in Paradise (Un crime au paradis, 2000), and Strange Gardens (Effroyables jardins, 2002). He is currently at work on his next film Deux jours à tuer.
