Agnès Jaoui (born 19 October 1964) is a French screenwriter, film director, actress and singer. She frequently works in collaboration with her former partner Jean-Pierre Bacri. ==Life and career== Jaoui was born in Antony, Hauts-de-Seine, and is of Tunisian Jewish descent. She is the daughter of Hubert Jaoui and Gyza Jaoui, who are not related to the cinema industry but are both writers.〔 They moved to Paris when she was 8 years old. She started theatre when she was in high school at the Lycée Henri-IV in Paris.〔 She entered the Cours Florent when she was 15.〔 Patrice Chéreau, director of the Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre where she followed drama classes since 1984, gave her a role in the film ''Hôtel de France'' in 1987. That same year, she also played in Harold Pinter's ''L'anniversaire'' beside Jean-Pierre Bacri, who will be later a faithful colleague and companion. Together they wrote the play ''Cuisines et dépendances'' which was adapted onscreen in 1992 by Philippe Muyl. In 1993, director Alain Resnais asked them to write an adaptation of Alan Ayckbourn's 8-part play ''Intimate Exchanges'', which became the 2-part film ''Smoking/No Smoking''. Thanks to this ironic diptych about free will and destiny, they won the César Award for Best Writing in 1994. But it is in 1996 that they came to know greater success with Cédric Klapisch's adaptation of their play ''Family Resemblances'' (''Un air de famille'') which showed their ability to observe and depict everyday life, and to criticize the social norms through a bitter and corrosive humor. Once again, they won the César Award for Best Writing in 1997 and this very same year they collaborated again with Alain Resnais for ''Same Old Song'' (''On connaît la chanson'') which they wrote but also interpreted: together, they won their third César Award for Best Writing, and Jaoui won her first César Award for Best Supporting Actress. Jaoui directed her first feature film, ''The Taste of Others'' (''Le Goût des autres'', 2000, written with Jean-Pierre Bacri), which questions social-cultural identities. The film was a huge success in France and attracted 4 million spectators. It also won 4 César Awards in 2001 including Best Film and Best Writing, and also got nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 2004, her second film as a director, ''Look at Me'' (''Comme une image''), co-written with Bacri, was selected for the Cannes Festival, and won the prize for Best Screenplay. She starred in the last Richard Dembo's film, ''La maison de Nina'' (2005) and then focused on music and released her album of Latin songs ''Canta'' (2006). She returned to the cinema industry two years later in 2008 with ''Let's Talk About the Rain'' (''Parlez-moi de la pluie'') and offered French humorist Jamel Debbouze a different role from what he was used to. In 2012, she directed her latest film to-date, ''Under the Rainbow'' (''Au bout du conte''), also co-written with Bacri. She revisits several fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood. It received acclaim —for originality and humor in the writing and dialogue— from critics and audiences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agnès Jaoui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
