Hadrian Chalard
Initiated at a very young age, I grew up with my eyes in front of the works of Hitchcock, Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille, or Cocteau. I will never forget my first cinemaphilic chills in front of the shower scene ofPsychosis, the tank race ofBen-Hur, and the roaring of the T-Rex ofJurassic ParkNeither the endless laughter of Louis de Funès' brilliant pitteries. A big fan of westerns, violent thrillers, and barred genre films, I like the work of Clint Eastwood or Park Chan-wook just as much as the fat comedy wayAmerican Pie. Defender of the physical format forever, I collect the 4K and Blu-ray editions at an unreasonable pace, but when you love you don't count! Devouring twilight films, night literary translator and self-proclaimed specialist of Icelandic cinema, I track feature films at night and day, but especially at night, in order to draw from them the substantial mellow necessary for the survival of the hungry cinemaphile.
