Patrice Leconte (born 12 November 1947) is a French film director, actor, comic strip writer, and screenwriter.
His most acclaimed film is Monsieur Hire (1989), but he is also noted for Le Parfum d'Yvonne (1994), Ridicule (1996) and Girl on the Bridge (1999).
Biography
While attending film school in the late 1960s, Leconte also worked as cartoonist, in particular for the magazine Pilote. He directed his first feature film in 1976, and had a number of major successes with comedy films that were barely distributed outside France. He first came to international attention in 1989 with Monsieur Hire, which was shown at the Cannes film festival and which was a radical departure from his previous work. Although he had already directed more than half a dozen features, many foreign critics, unfamiliar with his previous work, essentially treated him as a newcomer. Since then, he has alternated between films such as Ridicule and L'homme du train which have had success in the international arthouse market, and others, like Les grands ducs, whose appeal has been limited to France.
