Arthur Harari (born 1981 in Paris)[1] is a French film director, screenwriter and actor. He made his directorial debut in 2016 with the crime drama Dark Inclusion, which he co-wrote. In 2021 he co-wrote and directed the adventure drama Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle. For his screenplay of the legal drama Anatomy of a Fall (2023), which he co-wrote with Justine Triet, Harari received the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, César Award for Best Original Screenplay and Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Career

[edit]

After three shorts and a medium-length film, Harari directed his debut feature Dark Inclusion (2016), a heist film and family revenge drama about diamond dealers in Antwerp.[2]

His second feature film, Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, was selected to be screened as the opening film in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[3] With his co-writer Vincent Poymiro, Harari won Best Original Screenplay at the 47th César Awards.[4]

He was a co-writer of the film Anatomy of a Fall (2023), which won numerous awards for the screenplay.

In June 2024, Harari was invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[5]

Harari's next project, The Unknown, is a fantasy film starring Léa Seydoux and is slated for release in 2026.[6][7]

Personal life

[edit]

Harari is the grandson of the Egyptian-French actor Clément Harari. His older brother, Tom, is a cinematographer. His younger brother, Lucas, is a graphic novelist.[8] Harari is Jewish.[9]

Harari is in a relationship with director Justine Triet,[10] with whom he has two children.[11] Harari co-wrote the screenplays for her films Sibyl (2019) and Anatomy of a Fall (2023), the latter of which received the Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.[12][13]

In December 2023, alongside 50 other filmmakers, Harari signed an open letter published in Libération demanding a ceasefire and an end to the killing of civilians amid the 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, and for a humanitarian corridor into Gaza to be established for humanitarian aid, and the release of hostages.[14][15][16] At the 29th Lumières Awards ceremony on 22 January 2024, Harari commented that he was "disgusted by what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza". He also condemned the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel but further "argued that the responsibility to end the war in Gaza lies with the Israeli leadership".[17]
