Career
Poupaud's first appearance was, as a child, in Raúl Ruiz's 1983 film City of Pirates.[1] He met Raul Ruiz through his mother, Chantal Poupaud, who was a well-known press relations officer in the French cinema world.[2]
He starred in François Ozon's Time to Leave,[3] and co-starred with Parker Posey in Zoe Cassavetes' Broken English.[4]
He also appeared in films such as Eric Rohmer's A Summer's Tale,[5] Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale,[6] and François Ozon's The Refuge.[7]
He co-starred with Suzanne Clément in Xavier Dolan's Laurence Anyways.[8]
Having led an selective career, grown in a family having close links with the cinema world, he has been close to figures of the Parisian intelligentsia during the seventies and eighties, such as Marguerite Duras or Jacques Lacan.[9]
