Luc Besson mini-bio: Luc Besson spent the first years of his life following his parents,
scuba diving instructors, around the world. His early life was entirely
aquatic. He already showed amazing creativity as a youth, writing early
drafts of Grand bleu, Le (1988) and The Fifth Element (1997), as an
adolescent bored in school. He planned on becoming a marine biologist
specializing in dolphins until a diving accident at age 17 which rendered
him unable to dive any longer. He moved back to Paris, where he was born. At
18 in Paris, he realized that film was a medium which he could combine all
his interests in various arts together, so he began taking odd jobs on
various films. He moved to America for three years, then returned to France
and formed Les Films de Loups - his own production company, which later
changed its name to Les Films de Dauphins. He is now able to dive again.
I have a page of notes on Besson-directed films. You can check it out at www.geocities.com/stuartfernie/besson.htm . I'd be happy to talk about the page and its contents.
