Étienne Chatiliez (born 17 June 1952) is a French film director.
Life and career
He was born in Roubaix, France, the son of Pierre Chatiliez, an insurance worker[1], and Denise Rateau,[2], and grew up in Marcq-en-Barœul near Lille with his elder brother and sister.[1] He studied at the Lycée Yves-Kernanec in Marcq-en-Barœul.[3]
Chatiliez began his career as an editor at Europe 1[4] and then for an advertising agency[5][6] CLM&BBDO where he spent seven years as a writer editor.[4] He edited many television adverts, winning several awards, before moving into cinema.[5].[6]
With an assistant in publicity Florence Quentin his move to the big screen was a huge success, and La Vie est un long fleuve tranquille launched many catchphrases, in "an acerbic, grating, insolent comedy", presenting two utterly contrasted families the bourgeois Le Quesnoy, and the proletarian Groseille.[4] In this and subsequent films, he scratches away the surface of decorum and family myths, with an abrasive humou where the audience are both disturbed and amused, and which make the viewer uncomfortable yet touch them deeply.[4]
In 2002 he was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.[4]
