Bruno Dumont

Bruno Dumont

Bruno Dumont (born 1958, Bailleul, France) is a French film director. To date, he has directed five feature films, all of which border somewhere between realistic drama and the avant-garde. His film "L'humanité" won several awards at the Cannes film festival in 1999, including the Jury Grand Prize.

Dumont has a background of Greek and German (Western) philosophy, and of corporate video. [http://www.mastersofcinema.org/reviews/dumont.htm] His films often show the ugliness of extreme violence and provocative sexual behavior, and are usually classified as art films. Dumont has himself likened his films to visual arts, and he typically uses long takes, close-ups of people's bodies, and story lines involving extreme emotions.

He says that some of his favorite filmmakers are Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Roberto Rossellini, and Abbas Kiarostami.

His work has been associated with the New French Extremity.Quandt, James, "Flesh & Blood: Sex and violence in recent French cinema", "ArtForum", February 2004 [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0268/is_6_42/ai_113389507] Access date: 10 July 2008.]
