Jaco Van Dormael (born 9 February 1957) is a Belgian film director, screenwriter and playwright. His complex and critically acclaimed films are especially noted for their respectful and sympathetic portrayal of people with mental and physical disabilities. Van Dormael spent his childhood travelling around Europe, before going on to study filmmaking at the INSAS in Brussels, where he wrote and directed his first short film, ''Maedeli la brèche'' (1981), which received the Honorary Foreign Film Award at the Student Academy Awards. Van Dormael's feature debut, ''Toto le héros'' (1991), was an immediate hit and won the Caméra d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Five years later Van Dormael was among the prizes again at Cannes with ''Le huitième jour'' (1996), when his two leading actors, Daniel Auteuil and Pascal Duquenne, were jointly awarded the prize for Best Actor. His third feature film, ''Mr. Nobody'' (2009), received further critical acclaim and many accolades, winning six Magritte Awards, including Best Film and Best Director. ==Early life== Jaco Van Dormael was born in Ixelles. Belgium, on 9 February 1957 to a Belgian couple. Van Dormael was raised in Germany until age seven, when his family returned to Belgium. At his birth, he had nearly been strangled by the umbilical cord and received an insufficient supply of oxygen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jaco van Dormael – Biography )〕 It was feared that he may end up mentally impaired. This trauma accounts for the recurring themes in his films, which explore the worlds of people with mental and physical disabilities. He delighted in working with children and for a while pursued a career as a circus clown. He became a producer of children's entertainment with the Theatre de Galafronie, Theatre Isocele and Theatre de la Guimbarde. After developing an interest in filmmaking, he enrolled at the INSAS in Brussels and later the Louis Lumière College in Paris. As a children's entertainer, childhood and innocence would become strong themes throughout his work. 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「Jaco Van Dormael」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
