Ameline Grout人物介绍

Ameline Grout is an actress and filmmaker.

After completing a degree in foreign languages, she chose to fully dedicate herself to cinema, exploring writing, directing, and cinematography. She studied at ESRA Paris and has worked on numerous film sets in a variety of roles (including cinematographer, camera operator, art director) while developing her own projects. She notably directed her first short film, CENDRES.

Her work focuses on the body, its transformation, and its violence, often within an aesthetic close to body horror. She draws inspiration from filmmakers such as David Cronenberg, Julia Ducournau, and Coralie Fargeat, as well as from a more poetic and sensory approach to cinema, notably found in the work of Bi Gan.

Alongside her filmmaking practice, she also works as a film critic and writes for Les Fiches du Cinéma. Her critical research focuses particularly on body horror and on the Southern Chinese New Wave with filmmakers such as Bi Gan.

Between a fascination with the grotesque, blood, and bodily metamorphosis, her work explores the fragile boundary between beauty and repulsion.
