Counted to 15 September 2026, not since.
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He put a bear's inner life on screen without a word of dialogue, turned medieval semiotics into a bestseller adaptation, and won an Oscar for his first feature - a World War I satire no one saw coming.

About this person
Jean-Jacques Annaud was born on 1 October 1943 in France and opened his directing career with Black and White in Color in 1976, a film that immediately took the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. He followed with Quest for Fire in 1981, a primal-human drama, then adapted Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose in 1986. The Bear arrived in 1988 with almost no human dialogue, tracking a grizzly cub through the wilderness and became one of his most distinct works. The Lover in 1992, Seven Years in Tibet in 1997, and the Stalingrad siege film Enemy at the Gates in 2001 kept him working across continents and genres. His more recent films include Black Gold in 2011, Wolf Totem in 2015, and Notre-Dame on Fire in 2022. Five César Awards and a David di Donatello sit on the mantle.
