The Creator (Le Créateur in French) is a 1999 French film directed by Albert Dupontel.Darius is a playwright whose first play Intimate Distress is a success. However, his alcohol issues lead him to a 6-month recovery. When he comes back, he discovers that his next play is announced, but he forgot he had to write it. Having very little time to write the second play, he discovers that he's able to write when his subconscious takes over. Specifically after he accidently killed his neighbour's cat.While the setting is different from Dupontel's previous film Bernie, The Creator focuses less on social commentary, and more on the struggle of being creative, as well as coming up with a second work (this is Dupontel's second film).Not to be confused with the 2023 American film of the same name. | |
