Jean-Paul Rouve

Jean-Paul Rouve intrigues me precisely because of where he started. A founding member of the Les Robins des Bois comedy troupe, he trained in the discipline of making people laugh before earning the César for Best Male Revelation and moving into directing and screenwriting. Comedians-turned-actors tend to read human nature with unusual precision, and that observational instinct gives Rouve's work its texture. Born in Dunkirk in 1967 and equally at home on stage and screen, he is the sort of multi-hyphenate craftsman I respect most. He embodies the depth and range that French cinema does so well.
