Jean-Jacques Beineix (1946-2022) was a French director whose first feature Diva (1981) became a landmark of the 'cinéma du look', with its pop colour, opera and Paris streets. He followed it with The Moon in the Gutter (1983) and Betty Blue (1986), a passionate love story nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Later films include Roselyne and the Lions (1988), IP5 (1992), the documentary Otaku (1994) and Mortal Transfer (2001).
