DIRECTOR - ANTONY CORDIER

Biography

Antony Cordier was born in 1973 in Tours, into a working-class family to whom he dedicated his first film, the documentary Beau Comme Un Camion.

He studied film editing at La Fémis. His first feature film, Cold Showers, is a social tale that was selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005. It won the Grand Prize at the Taiwan and Verona Film Festivals, as well as the Louis Delluc Prize for Best First Film. His second film, Happy Few, is an erotic comedy portraying a polyamorous relationship between Marina Foïs, Roschdy Zem, Élodie Bouchez, and Nicolas Duvauchelle. His third film, Gaspard At The Wedding, follows the daily life of a dysfunctional family living in a zoo. It stars Félix Moati, Lætitia Dosch, and Christa Theret.

In 2020, he ventured into television, directing all 24 episodes of the Canal+ series OVNI(S) (UFOS), starring Melvil Poupaud and Géraldine Pailhas. The two-season series tells the story of a group of scientists investigating paranormal phenomena in the 1970s, France.

The Party’s Over! returns – through a satirical lens – to the exploration of social divides that was central to Cold Showers.
