My Take

Robin Campillo is one of those filmmakers I trust completely. Born in Mohammedia and shaped by French cinema, he writes, edits, and directs, and you can feel that total authorship in his work. BPM (Beats per Minute) remains, for me, one of the most alive films about activism and mortality ever made, equal parts rage and tenderness. The avalanche of 2018 César and Lumière awards felt less like hype than overdue recognition. What I value most is his refusal to flatten suffering into spectacle; he lets grief breathe. Quietly, he is one of contemporary European cinema's essential voices.
