	Luc Besson
		Luc Besson was born in Paris in 1959.
		Besson had a far easier ride with the censors for his next film, The Fifth Element, a lavish, tongue-in-cheek science fiction extravaganza based on a story he wrote when he was a teenager.
		Although Luc Besson is most visible for his work as a director, he is also pursuing a successful career as a producer.

	Nil By Mouth: Luc Besson
		Besson's second film, "Subway," starred Christopher Lambert in a Cesar-winning performance (one of thirteen Cesar nominations garnered by the film) as a thief on the run who becomes involved in a fantastic sub-culture of Parisians living in the city's underground.
		Besson's first film to be made in English, boasting an international cast, was distributed in the US in a version that suffered various unauthorized alterations to its scenes and to Eric Serra's score, including a changed ending.
		Besson's "La Femme Nikita" was the director's first global sensation, a film that inspired remakes in both the US and Hong Kong, and made international stars of its leads, Jean Reno and Anne Parrilaud.

	Notes on Luc Besson Films.
		Besson, it appears, is saying this cannot be – life cannot be summed up and explained.
		Besson’s later films are more complex and daring in that they deal with the apparent disintegration and decay of society while the façade remains intact.
		I recently saw "Taxi" (written and produced by Besson) and thoroughly enjoyed its humour and visual style, though I felt this was definitely "Besson light" as it also lacked the interest and import of his previous efforts, though I am sure this was quite deliberate in this case.

	Luc Besson's film 'The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'
		Luc Besson had the following to say about the film's take on the subject: "If she wanted to be a good Christian, a good person...
		Along similar lines, Besson has said that he made the character to look as androgynous as possible, thereby dredging up another bit of slander leveled against her by her enemies but contradicted by the eyewitness accounts.
		Based on Besson's comments in "Le Monde" and elsewhere, he was apparently attracted to doing a film about Joan of Arc because he thought she was androgynous like the character played by his (then) lover Milla Jovovich in "The Fifth Element", and so he found them both "sexy".

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| \| Luc Besson interviewed by Richard Jobson
		[At Besson's request, the more usual format of half an hour of one-on-one interview then questions from the audience for the remaining 45 minutes was abandoned, and the interview consisted entirely of questions from the audience, with Richard Jobson managing proceedings.
		Question: A couple of years ago you were reported to have said you were only going to make ten feature films and now you're on eight.
		A very good friend of mine watched the film and said: "Luc, there is one thing you have to learn and that is when you have nothing to say - shut up!" So I decided not to make films any more and to be an assistant.

	Luc Besson (The Fifth Element)
		LUC BESSON'S stature on the international scene is proof that cinema has become a brave new world.
		Besson's The Fifth Element, a witty, wild sci-fi extravaganza, had the honor of opening the fiftieth Cannes Film Festival last week before debuting as America's No. 1 film on Friday.
		Besson's demeanor and conversation further demonstrated that he has no use for the trappings of film stardom.

		The performances are not up to the standards of his past films, but I think that's because Luc is focusing more on the f/x, than in his past films.

		Besson must've angered the head of the studio that released it because it vanished soon after.
		I am a big besson fan and came across this older movie a few years ago (before the dvd release) when I found it at a tag sale in a box of Laser Discs.
		Long had I heard rumors of the magnificence of Luc Besson's ATLANTIS, but found nary a showing in the years since becoming enamored with the serene moments of Besson's THE BIG BLUE.

		Now, my Uncle and his modelmaker friends refer to that film as The Fifth Elephant because it was such a special-effects behemoth, but I really liked it.
		Now that I've seen La Femme Nikita (the original, not the Hollyweird remake), I'm a Besson fan, and looking to see the rest of his stuff if I possibly can.
		Besson's not all that good with plot, but he creats characters and worlds amazingly well, and can make violent and melodramatic scripts ring true (at least while you're watching).

		Called "the French Steven Spielberg" by some, Luc Besson made an impressive debut at age 24 with "Le Dernier Combat" (1983), He first gained recognition for the underwater epic "The Big Blue" (1988), a huge commercial success at home but a failure in foreign release.
		Besson's next project brought international attention, "La Femme Nikita" (1990).
		With his first Hollywood film, "The Professional" (1994), Besson was again lauded for skillful direction and stylish action sequences though still hampered by less than satisfactory story development....
