Éric Rochant

Éric Rochant is a filmmaker I respect for the sheer force of his arrival. Born in Paris in 1961, he swept early honors that most directors spend careers chasing: a César for short fiction, the Louis Delluc Prize in 1989, and the César for Best First Film in 1990. Emerging alongside talents like Arnaud Desplechin, he announced himself as the real thing immediately. He later proved equally adept in television, where his gift for taut, intelligent espionage drama shines. I admire artists who open with acclaim and then sustain it for decades, because longevity, not the prize itself, is the true measure of the craft.

Éric Rochant (born 24 February 1961) is a French film director and screenwriter. He is an alumnus of the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC), from the generation of Arnaud Desplechin and Noémie Lvovsky. Rochant is of Jewish background.
