Movie description
Besson was born in Paris to parents who were both scuba diving instructors. This
had a heavy influence on his childhood and throughout his childhood Besson
planned on becoming a marine biologist until the age of 17 when he had a diving
accident which left him unable to dive any longer. He has since fully recovered.
During his childhood, and especially during adolescence, Besson showed amazing
creativity. Out of boredom, he started to write stories, including the backdrop
to what would later become one of his most popular movies, The Fifth Element. At
18, unable to dive, Besson returned to his birthplace of Paris. There he started
to become involved in film, taking on odd jobs to get a feel for the industry.
After this, he moved to the United States for three years, but returned to form
his own production company which he called "Les Films du Loup". The name was
later changed to Les Films du Dauphin.
In the early 1980s, Besson met Eric Serra and asked him to compose the score for
his first short film, L'Avant dernier. He was married to Anne Parillaud, who
starred in the film he wrote and directed, La Femme Nikita. Besson later dated
model Mawenn Le Besco. Their daughter, Shana Besson, was born in 1993. Besson
married Milla Jovovich on December 14, 1997, but they divorced in 1999. On
August 28, 2004, Besson married Virginie Silla.
Besson's influence on other directors, artists, and world-wide popular culture
cannot be denied, largely resulting from his films of the early 90's notably
Nikita (1990) starring Anne Parillaud and L¨Ļon (aka The Professional, 1994)
starring Jean Reno and introducing Natalie Portman to the screen. These two
films strongly influenced spin-off works by many artists in comics books, other
films with "cleaner" hit-man characters, and several American television shows,
with the most direct spin-off being the long-running (1997-2001) USA network TV
series La Femme Nikita as well as influences on ABC's Alias starring Jennifer
Garner as paranoid girl-spy du jour. This influence extends to the creation of
FOX TV's 24 by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, who had previously produced
Nikita for the USA network. Harvey Keitel has played "cleaners" in the
"Americanized" version of Nikita with Bridget Fonda called Point of No Return
(1993) and Pulp Fiction (1994). This character also made it to TV in 1994 The
Cleaner (The X-Files) and is being satirized by 2006 in The Cleaner starring
Cedric The Entertainer.
