After working with fellow Pole Agnieszka Holland on Kieślowski's Three Colors: Blue, Preisner was hired by producer Francis Ford Coppola to write the score for The Secret Garden, directed by Holland.
Although Preisner is most closely associated with Kieślowski, he has written for other directors, winning a César in 1996 for his work on JeanBecker's Elisa.
Preisner's style is basically Romantic, with Jean Sibelius being an acknowledged influence.
Becker lightens the despairing methods of Marie (Simone Signoret), who sells her body in exchange for the release of her beau Georges (Serge Reggiani), by infusing noir ethic with traditions of the 1900s.
Becker is devoted to the feat, not the feast.
Becker is proof that people do miraculous things because they are pursued by a spirit, not because they are chasing a ghost.
Becker was able, via the minuteness of his découpage and the sympathy he had for his actors, to build a serious moral comedy from literally nothing.
Becker was interested in what the cinema could do just as he was interested in what men and women do.
This is, for Becker, the state of life on earth: despite the ingenuity we bring to our struggle for freedom, we are doomed to failure; but in the effort we come upon another value, greater even than liberty, an awareness that our struggle is shared and of the friendship and respect that shared effort confers.

French culture | cinema: Children of the Marshland, by Jean Becker(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Redolent of lazy summer afternoons, JeanBecker's Les Enfants du Marais is a lyrical hymn to French provincial life during the 1930s, that temps perdu between the Great Wars and before the Age of Technology transformed fishing trips along the banks of the Loire into the stuff of scenic screensavers.
With the aid of such luminaries of the French screen as Michel Serrault and André Dussolier, Becker recreates another time and another place through the story of four friends whose lives unfold in an enviable pastoral setting.
Which is not to say there's not much action: Becker's frogfishing sequence is just as bracing as P.T.Anderson's raining frogs from Magnolia.
