Mia Hansen-Løve
- Director
- Writer
- Actress
Cinema came into Mia Hansen-Løve's life when she was seventeen, as
Olivier Assayas made her start as an
actress in
Late August, Early September (1998).
Two years later, he gave her the part of "Aline" in his
Sentimental Destinies (2000).
Their artistic collaboration was coupled by a union in real life, Mia
and Olivier becoming life companions. In 2001, Mia Hansen-Løve began
studying at the municipal Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris' 10th
district but she dropped our after two years to contribute instead to
the famous film magazine "Les Cahiers du Cinéma", where
Olivier Assayas also wrote. In 2001, she
tried her hand at directing and, as of the first day of shooting,
discovered that this WAS what she wanted to do. The result was
Après mûre réflexion (2004).
Since then, although aged only twenty-eight, she has already made two
more films,
All Is Forgiven (2007) and
Father of My Children (2009),
both acclaimed by the critics, both showing consistent thematic and
stylistic unity.
