Early life

Fargeat was born and raised in Paris.[1] She decided to be a filmmaker when she was 16 or 17 years old.[2] Fargeat studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies before beginning work on film sets. She later completed a year-long director's workshop for continuing education at La Fémis, a prestigious cinema school in Paris.[1][2]

Fargeat lists David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, David Lynch, and Michael Haneke as filmmakers who have influenced her.[3]

Career

Fargeat's first short film Le télégramme was released in 2003, a film about two women awaiting a postman's delivery during World War II. The film won 13 awards at several film festivals.[1]

In 2007, Fargeat co-created Les Fées cloches [fr] with Anne-Elisabeth Blateaur, a comedy mini-series which she also directed.[4]

Fargeat released her short follow-up Reality+ in 2014. The sci-fi tale received a nomination for the Jury Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.[5]

Fargeat's debut feature film was Revenge, a feminist revenge thriller about a young woman assaulted and left for dead. The film had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival in the festival's Midnight Madness section,[6] and was selected to be screened at 23 additional film festivals.[7]

Fargeat is a member and one of the founding signatories of Collectif 50/50, a group established with the purpose of working towards gender equality across the film industry.[8]

In February 2022, it was reported that Fargeat's next feature film will be The Substance, a feminist body horror film written by Fargeat and produced by Universal Pictures and Working Title Films.
