Born in Paris in 1967, Michel Hazanavicius came from television and made the spy-film parodies OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) with Jean Dujardin. He then made The Artist (2011), a black-and-white silent film about a silent star's decline as sound arrives. It won five Oscars including best picture and best director, and a BAFTA for director. Later films include The Search (2014) and Final Cut (2022), a remake of a Japanese zombie comedy.
