JEAN-JACQUES ANNAUD (Producer/Director/Co-Writer) most recently directed Enemy at the Gates, starring Jude Law and Rachel Weisz. Annaud’s debut feature, Black and White in Color/La Victoire En Chantant won the Academy Award® in 1977 for Best Foreign Film.
His next feature was Coup de tête, a great success in Europe, followed by Quest for Fire, a stunning portrait of primitive man, which earned him a Cesar Award as Best Director. Next, he directed The Name of the Rose, a medieval murder mystery starring Sean Connery, which received a Cesar Award for Best Foreign Film. Annaud also co-wrote the screenplays for the latter two films with Alain Godard.
In 1989, Annaud received international acclaim and another Cesar Award for The Bear, the story of the relationship between an orphaned bear cub and an old Kodiak who struggle to survive in the wilderness.
