Roselyne-Rose Bosch was born in Avignon to a Catalan father and an Italian/French mother. Her father, a refugee from the franquist regime, instilled in her a passion for History, which was evident in the city's weekly book market and the annual European Theater Festival. Bosch studied semiology in Aix-en-Provence before moving on.
She worked as a senior writer and reporter for Le Point magazine in Paris, covering a wide range of subjects, including portraits of notable figures, terrorism, and humanitarian crises. In 1991, she was a finalist for the Albert Londres prize, equivalent to the Pulitzer.
In 1990, while working on a story in Seville, Bosch discovered Columbus' correspondence, which inspired her to write her first screenplay, "1492, Conquest of Paradise." The film was directed by Ridley Scott and starred Gerard Depardieu. It was released in 1992 to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage.
Bosch's second collaboration with Ridley Scott was "Animal," a 2006 film about the biochemistry of aggressiveness. She also directed "The Round Up," a 2009 film about the largest European round-up of Jews during World War II. The film was a surprise hit and sparked a national debate about French collaboration.
Bosch's other notable works include "Melanie Laurent" and "My Summer In Provence." She is currently working on two English-language projects.
