Abdellatif Kechiche (Template:Lang-ar, born 7 December 1960) is a Tunisian-French actor, film director and screenwriter. He made his directorial debut in 2000 with La Faute à Voltaire [fr; it; pl] (Blame it on Voltaire), aka Poetical Refugee, which he also wrote.

Life and career

Born in Tunis, he moved with his parents to Nice at the age of six.

He directed Games of Love and Chance, which won a César Award for Best Film and Best Director. He presented The Secret of the Grain at the 64th Mostra del Cinema in Venice for which he was awarded the Special Jury Prize. The film also received the FIPRESCI Prize, the Louis Delluc Prize and the César Awards for Best Film and Best Director.

As an actor, his introduction to most English-speaking audiences was starring as Ashade the taxi driver in the 2005 psychological thriller Sorry, Haters, an "official selection" in both the Toronto and American Film Institute's film festivals.

He was decorated by the Ben Ali regime in 2005 and in 2008.

His 2013 film Blue Is the Warmest Colour won the Palme d'Or and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Several days later a controversy erupted about Kechiche's work methods; technicians on the film accused him of harassment, unpaid overtime and violations of labour laws. The two main actresses, Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos, also complained about Kechiche's behaviour during the shooting but later in an extensive interview claimed that although he was difficult to work with it had been worth it as he was a great filmmaker. The film also won Best International Independent Film at the British Independent Film Awards in 2013.
