Born January 1, 1946 Paris
Biography
Jean-Claude Rousseau is one of the most unconventional lone fighters in French cinema. His predominantly short films deal with no less than cinema per se: space, time and movement. As abstract as each of these concepts might seem taken alone, Rousseau assigns their ultimate designation as an integral whole: A person (or no-one, for that matter) moves (or does not move) within a room (or looks into another room) for a certain amount of time.
