Bernard E. McEveety, Jr. (May 13, 1924 – February 2, 2004) was an American film and television director.
The Moon in the Gutter (French: "La Lune dans le caniveau" ) is a 1983 French drama film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix.
 It was entered into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.
Mortel Transfert is a Franco-German thriller, directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, adapted from the novel of the same name by Jean-Pierre Gattégno.
 The music was provided by the composer of "Roselyne et les lions", Reinhardt Wagner.
 Some of the paintings in the film were produced by Pierre Peyrolle, who had designed the "Try another world" poster in "La Lune dans le caniveau".
 "Mortel transfert" went into production in April 2000 and was released in France on 10 January 2001.
Diva is a 1981 French thriller film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, adapted from the novel "Diva" by Daniel Odier (under the pseudonym Delacorta).
 It is one of the first French films to let go of the realist mood of 1970s French cinema and return to a colourful, melodic style, later described as "cinéma du look".
Jean-Jacques Beineix (] ; born 8 October 1946) is a French film director and generally seen as the best example of what came to be called the "cinéma du look".
 Critic Ginette Vincendeau defined the films made by Beineix and others as "youth-oriented films with high production values...The "look" of the "cinéma du look" refers to the films' high investment in non-naturalistic, self-conscious aesthetics, notably intense colours and lighting effects.
 Their spectacular (studio based) and technically brilliant "mise-en-scène" is usually put to the service of romantic plots."
 The "cinéma du look" included the films of Luc Besson and Léos Carax.
 Luc Besson, like Beineix, was much maligned by the critical establishment during the 1980s, while Carax was much admired.
 In late 2006, Beineix published a first volume of his autobiography, "Les Chantiers de la gloire" (in French only).
 The title alluded to the French title of Stanley Kubrick's film, "Les Sentiers de la gloire" ("Paths of Glory").
Betty Blue is a 1986 French film.
 Its original French title is 37° 2 le matin, meaning "37.2°C in the morning" (the normal temperature of a pregnant woman in the morning).
 The film was directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix and stars Béatrice Dalle and Jean-Hugues Anglade.
 It is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Philippe Djian.
 The film had 3,632,326 admissions and was the eighth highest-grossing film of the year in France.
Alfredo Catalani (19 June 1854 – 7 August 1893) was an Italian operatic composer.
 He is best remembered for his operas "Loreley" (1890) and "La Wally" (1892).
 "La Wally" was composed to a libretto by Luigi Illica, and features Catalani's most famous aria "Ebben?
 Ne andrò lontana."
 This aria, sung by American soprano Wilhelmenia Fernandez, was at the heart of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s 1981 cult movie "Diva".
 Catalani's other operas were much less successful.
Roselyne et les lions ("Roselyne and the Lions") is a 1989 French film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix.
Cinéma du look (] ) was a French film movement of the 1980s, analysed, for the first time, by French critic Raphaël Bassan in "La Revue du Cinéma" issue n° 448, May 1989, in which he classified Luc Besson, Jean-Jacques Beineix and Leos Carax as directors of "le look".
 These directors were said to favor style over substance, spectacle over narrative.
 It referred to films that had a slick, gorgeous visual style and a focus on young, alienated characters who were said to represent the marginalized youth of François Mitterrand's France.
 Themes that run through many of their films include doomed love affairs, young people more affiliated to peer groups rather than families, a cynical view of the police, and the use of scenes in the Paris Métro to symbolise an alternative, underground society.
 The mixture of 'high' culture, such as the opera music of "Diva" and "Les Amants du Pont-Neuf," and pop culture, for example the references to Batman in "Subway", was another key feature.
Martine Beugnet is a French film theorist, and a Professor in Visual Studies at the Paris Diderot University.
 She has written primarily on corporeality and sensation in avant-garde and narrative cinema, and has had her work published in several film journals.
 She wrote her PhD thesis at the University of Edinburgh in 1999, on themes of sexuality and bodies in recent French cinema, citing filmmakers such as Claire Denis, Bertrand Blier, Jean-Jacques Beineix, Laetitia Masson, and Leos Carax.
 She later wrote an entire monograph on the work of Claire Denis, where she invoked the of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze.
 In 2005, she published a book on cinematic treatments of Marcel Proust, written in collaboration with Marion Schmid.
 Two years later, she wrote a book titled "Cinema and Sensation", where she further explored themes she had written about in her PhD thesis, again invoking Deleuze.
