Édouard Deluc

Édouard Deluc loves putting his characters on messy, unpredictable journeys. He caught international attention when he sent Vincent Cassel all the way to French Polynesia for Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti. That lush period piece showed everyone he had the grit to direct major stars and take on heavy historical figures without blinking.

He first turned heads with his clever short film ¿Dónde está Kim Basinger?, and he kept that energetic momentum going straight into features. Whether he is staging road-trip chaos in Argentina or crafting eccentric comedies like Pétaouchnok, he sticks to what he does best: throwing flawed people into wild open spaces.
