Bertrand Tavernier

Bertrand Tavernier (b. April 25, 1941 in Lyon) is a French director, screenwriter, actor, and producer. He was married to Colo O'Hagen from 1965 to 1980. His son, Nils Tavernier (born September 1, 1965), works as both a director and actor.

His early work was dominated by mysteries, but his later work is characterized by a more overt social commentary, highlighting his pacifism (Life and Nothing But, Capitaine Conan) and presenting a critical picture of contemporary French society (Ça commence aujourd'hui, ). He won the BAFTA for best film in a language other than English in 1990 for Life and Nothing But and a total of four César Award. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0851724/awards] ]
