Catherine Corsini

Catherine Corsini was born in France on 18 May 1956. Having a passion for literature, she became equally interested in theater. At the age of 18, she moved to Paris to become an actress, but instead she started writing screenplays that became short films, such as La Mésange, Ballades, and Nuit de Chine. She realized her first feature film in 1988, Poker, with the collaboration of Caroline Cellier and Pierre Arditi, before making several TV series. In 1999, her romantic comedy La Nouvelle Eve gained great success both from the public and the critics, and marked her collaboration with Karin Viard, with whom she would later work on Les Ambitieux.
Corsini has directed 16 films since 1982. Her film La répétition was entered into the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, and Leaving (Partir, 2009), starring Kristen Scott-Thomas and Sergi Lopez, participated in dozens of international film festivals, including Toronto and Seattle, and was successfully released theatrically across Europe and North America.
