Alex Dupont is a French screenwriter, film director and film actor, better known by the stage name Leo Carax.
Leo comes from the Paris suburb of Suren, from a family of a Frenchman and an American with Russian roots. The stage name Leos Carax is an anagram made up of his names Alex and Oscar. Almost nothing is known about the film director’s life, as he prefers not to give interviews. According to rumors, Leo left school early, working as a poster sticker and having no directing education.
The future director has always loved the movie, and like the characters.
Dreamers" Bertolucci often attended free screenings at the University of Paris until he decided to make his own film. Leo shot his debut short film Strangulation Blues at the age of nineteen, and immediately attracted the attention of more experienced filmmakers with his unique technique for a beginner.
In 1984, Leo managed to shoot the film “A Boy Meets a Girl”, in which he shot his girlfriend Mireille Perrier. For the role of the main character of the film, Carax called unemployed at the time film actor Denis Laban, who was his age, becoming the alter ego of the director. In 1986, Carax made the film “Bad Blood”, and five years later – the film “Lovers from the New Bridge”. In these films, the role of the main character was performed by the director’s muse.
