My Take

Jérôme Salle strikes me as an unusually versatile French filmmaker, equally at home in crowd-pleasing and serious cinema. He can drive a slick thriller like Anthony Zimmer or the Largo Winch adaptations, then turn around and bring Zulu to the closing slot at Cannes. That range is what I respect most; he refuses to choose between entertainment and artistic ambition, reaching for both with a distinctly French sense of pride. He is not a director surrounded by loud hype, but his work tends to satisfy, building steadily film by film. I trust craftsmen like that, the ones who reliably deliver without overselling themselves.
