Marina de Van ([də van]; born 8 February 1971) is a French film director, screenwriter and actress. Her film, Don't Look Back, was screened out of competition at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Biography

Marina de Van nait le 18 février 1971 d'un père musicologue et d'une mère avocate.

Ancienne élève du lycée Henri-IV de Paris ou elle fait une classe préparatoire littéraire, elle est titulaire d'une maîtrise de philosophie sur la Critique de la raison pure. Elle est diplômée de La fémis (section Réalisation) en 1997. Il est à noter qu'elle a envisagé de faire des études d'arts plastiques (dessin et sculpture) : l'année où elle réussit le concours de La Fémis elle tente aussi l'entrée des Beaux-Arts où elle échoue à l'oral, le jury la trouvant « trop classique ».

Elle est la sœur de l'acteur Adrien de Van qui a joué dans plusieurs de ses films (Bien sous tous rapports, Dans ma peau, Ne te retourne pas, Le Petit Poucet) ainsi qu'avec elle dans Sitcom de François Ozon. Son autre frère est Thomas de Van, qui joue aussi dans Bien sous tous rapports et tient un petit rôle dans Dans ma peau. Elle a d'ailleurs dédié ce film à ses frères.

Elle a connu une addiction aux médicaments, à l'alcool et à la cocaïne qui l'a menée à être hospitalisée et à effectuer des cures de désintoxication. Une fois guérie, elle raconte cette expérience dans son livre Stéréoscopie, publié en 2013.

Jeanne, a married woman with two young children, starts to notice small changes taking place in the arrangement of objects in her family's home—furniture, pictures, rooms—as well as in her physical appearance. She seems to be the only one noticing these changes, but still she is absolutely certain that her perceptions are a result of something profound, and are not caused by stress or fatigue, as everyone else seems to think. Feeling increasingly out of sorts, ever more distant, and even psychologically cut off from her husband and children, who are baffled by her behavior, Jeanne goes to her mother in the hope that she, at least, will provide for her some clarification or otherwise soothing solution.
