David Oelhoffen, a renowned French film director and screenwriter, entered the world in 1968. His inaugural feature film, 'In Your Wake', made a significant splash when it premiered in the prestigious International Critics' Week of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
As Oelhoffen's career continued to blossom, his next notable endeavor was 'Far from Men' (2014),a cinematic masterpiece inspired by the poignant short story 'The Guest' ('L'hôte') penned by the celebrated French author Albert Camus. This thought-provoking film boasts an impressive cast, featuring the talented Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb in leading roles.
'Far from Men' garnered widespread critical acclaim, and its excellence was formally recognized when it played in competition at the 71st Venice International Film Festival, ultimately taking home three coveted awards.
