This director was very well liked in the 80s. I liked his films too. I think it was the film Diva (1981) that first alerted me to his style. The poster (above) was everywhere and I am sure the FACE magazine featured it. He is credited with being an exponent of the Cinema du look. I guess his most famous film is Betty Blue (1986) which was an international hit. Here's one of the musical themes in the film - it has an excellent soundtrack.
