Question: Are the directors of films Hector And The Search For Happiness (Film) and Comedy Of Power both from the same country?

Barry Atsma( born 29 December 1972) is a Dutch actor. The family into which he was born moved many times, because Atsma's father worked as an expat for the Dutch- British multinational Unilever. Barry Atsma spent part of his youth in United Kingdom, Greece, Brasil and the Netherlands. This provided him with insights into how people interact with each other in various cultures, and this no doubt proved a benefit to him in his acting career. He took up the study of law, but soon switched to the Academy of Performing Arts in the Dutch town of Utrecht, where he graduated in 1996. He became known in the Netherlands through his role in the TV series" Rozengeur& Wodka Lime"( 2001 – 2005). He is a recipient of both a Golden Calf( award) and a Rembrandt Award. Internationally, Atsma is best known for his work on 2014 British film" Hector and the Search for Happiness" and the 2018 British television series" The Split". <SEP> The film stars Simon Pegg and Rosamund Pike. Hector and the Search for Happiness is a 2014 British- German- Canadian comedy- drama film directed by Peter Chelsom and co-written with Tinker Lindsay and Maria von Heland, based on François Lelord's novel of the same name. <SEP> Comedy of Power is a 2006 French drama film directed by Claude Chabrol and starring Isabelle Huppert. The French title means" drunk with power". <SEP> He has directed such films as" Hector and the Search for Happiness Serendipity", and" Shall We Dance?" Peter Chelsom is a member of the British Academy, the American Academy, The Directors Guild of America, and The Writers Guild of America. Peter Chelsom( born 20 April 1956) is a British film director, writer, and actor. <SEP> Juan Moreno y Herrera- Jiménez( born 30 July 1948), known as Jean Reno, is a French actor of Spanish descent. He has worked in French, English, Japanese, Spanish and Italian productions; Reno appeared in films such as" Crimson Rivers Godzilla The Da Vinci Code The Pink PantherRoninLes Visiteurs The Big BlueHector and the Search for Happiness" and. <SEP> Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean- Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine" Cahiers du cinéma" before beginning his career as a film maker. Chabrol's career began with" Le Beau Serge"( 1958), inspired by Hitchcock's" Shadow of a Doubt"( 1943). Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity. This is especially apparent in" Les Biches"( 1968)," La Femme infidèle"( 1969), and" Le Boucher"( 1970) – all featuring Stéphane Audran, who was his wife at the time. Sometimes characterized as a" mainstream" New Wave director, Chabrol remained prolific and popular throughout his half- century career. In 1978, he cast Isabelle Huppert as the lead in" Violette Nozière". On the strength of that effort, the pair went on to others including the successful" Madame Bovary"( 1991) and" La Cérémonie"( 1996). Film critic John Russell Taylor has stated that" there are few directors whose films are more difficult to explain or evoke on paper, if only because so much of the overall effect turns on Chabrol's sheer hedonistic relish for the medium ... Claude Henri Jean Chabrol( 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave(" nouvelle vague") group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s. Some of his films become almost private jokes, made to amuse himself." James Monaco has called Chabrol" the craftsman par excellence of the New Wave, and his variations upon a theme give us an understanding of the explicitness and precision of the language of the film that we do n't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard."
