Claude Miller
(Paris, 1942) studied at the IDHEC film school and first started working with directors such as Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, the latter with whom he studied. In 1975 he made his feature debut, The Best Way, which picked up six Cesar nominations and won Best Cinematography. He followed that up with This Sweet Sickness and in 1981 Under Suspicion won four Cesars (Best Screenplay, Editing, Actor and Supporting Actor). After a series of successful films, in 1988 he finished The Little Thief, a project Truffaut left incomplete at the time of his death. In 1998 he won the Jury Prize at Cannes with Class Trip, while Of Women and Magic was awarded the FIPRESCI Prize at Berlin in 2000. Betty Fisher and Other Stories also won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Montreal Film Festival, where in 2007 Miller won the Grand Prix des Amériques for A Secret. This year, besides Je Suis Heureux que Ma Mere Soit Vivante, he also made the documentary Marching Band.
Our identity is a piece of cloth of which our childhood lined the contours. The presence of those who brought us up, our parents, created the basis of who we are. But what happens when there is an absence? It is one of the questions asked by the story.
