Gaspar Noé
Gaspar Noé (born December 27, 1963) is an Argentine-Italian filmmaker who lives and works in France, where he has spent most of his life. The son of Argentine painter and intellectual Luis Felipe Noé, he graduated from Louis Lumière National College and is the visiting professor of film at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Three of his films feature the character of a nameless butcher played by Philippe Nahon: Carne, I Stand Alone and (in a cameo) Irréversible. Carne was the recipient of the Critic's Award at the 5th Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February 1994. The films of Stanley Kubrick are one source of inspiration for Noé, and he occasionally makes references to them in his own works. Noé also cites the 1983 Austrian serial killer film Angst, by Gerald Kargl, as a major influence. He is married to filmmaker Lucile Hadžihalilović. His work has been linked to the New French Extremity.

If there’s a cinematic hero I dream of being, it’s Travis Bickle.

This is the film I’ve seen more than any other in my life — 40 times or more.
-
It’s the most existentialist, raw, deep film about the impossible nature of romantic love.
-
To this day, I continue to consider it as the most educational film about man’s domination by man.
-
For me it’s the film that best reproduces the language of dreams and nightmares.

If there’s one premiere I would dream of attending, it’s this film, which was decades ahead of its time.
-
Another film as perfect as it is extraordinary. I wish I could have been at the first screening in 1933!
-
A film as unique as it is perfect. Much like with Un Chien Andalou, I can watch it on repeat.
-
A revolutionary and lyrical film where the movements turn the camera into a symphonic instrument.

This film, still poorly known in Anglo-Saxon countries, was my perpetual point of reference.
