composer Eric Serra (I especially appreciate the discovery of
Natalie Portman and introducing me to such actors as Jean Reno and Gary Oldman). Despite Besson's majority of great stories in his Directing career, now looking back, the shallowness of his recent work may be considered slightly foreshadowed. I want to keep Besson in my top tier of directors but his recent body of work does cater to a state of mindlessness--films contrary to his originality and contrary to my appeal for him. I do hope to be reawakened though.

All this is question of opinion. I don't think we can say in this article this kind of thing, it's just not neutral at all. Some people love his movies, some people hate them.

Even taking into account the awful wikipedia images typically in use since the ridiculous fair use fiasco, this one is especially awful. It's taken at a weird angle from behind him with the focus clearly on
Bridget Fonda. Can't we do better than this? And before anyone says it - no, I don't have a

As an aspiring
Director, Luc Besson had always been one of my inspirations. Before I could truly pick apart films to their core and determine for the sake of my own style why I was attracted to them, I knew I was a fan of Besson's ability for strong emotion that was emphasized by the score of his

Is this assessment accurate? Does it belong to an encyclopedia article? I don't see this matter being raised on the French wiki page. Even if someone could come up with a somewhat more balanced version it seems to me that the above paragraph could be written on and about any film production

Does anyone know what happened between the two? I read he was currently seeing the actress, MaĂŻwenn Le Besco and had a daughter with her in 1992 or 1993 (someone messed up with the dates). She is also one year younger than Milla
Jovovich is. Milla was married to him 1997 - 1999.

Is there someone who would like to create the page for Valérian, Besson's next film ? The page already exists in French but we can make one in
English. The English title is already known (Valérian and the City of a Thousand Planets) as the film will be shot in English.

Besson is also an extremely prolific writer and producer, in fact he has produced and written far more than he has directed. It might be a good thing to add a list of his writing and producing credits, as well as update his directed movie list as it is also incomplete.

While it's fine to bring up these "negative issues" in this current section, it really needs to be prefaced by a more thorough discussion of his films which have been more original than many, and at least mildly if not strongly

How did this guy get a pass for impregnating a 15-year-old who was 18 years his junior, then leaving her a few years later for Milla
Jovovich? Was he really never charged for his relationship with Maiwenn Le Besco?
