Jean-Jacques Beineix. 8 October 1946 – 13 January 2022.Music From Films

Jean-Jacques Beineix (8 October 1946 – 13 January 2022) was a French film director whose work is often seen as a prime example of the so-called cinéma du look.Film critic Ginette Vincendeau has defined the films made by Beineix and others as "youth-oriented films with high production values.The look of the cinéma du look refers to the films' high investment in non-naturalistic,self-conscious aesthetics,notably intense colours and lighting effects.Their spectacular (studio based) and technically brilliant mise-en-scène is usually put to the service of romantic plots."The cinéma du look also included the films of Luc Besson and Léos Carax. Besson, like Beineix,was much maligned by film critics during the 1980s,while Carax was much admired.This musical Tribute contains the music written for 3 of his best films,Diva 1981,Betty Blue / 37°2 Le Matin 1986 & The Moon in the Gutter (French: La Lune dans le caniveau) 1983.
