Founder of the Parisian cabaret theatre "La Rose Rouge", producer of John Cassavetes' first film "Shadows", and of "A Love Song" by Jean Genet, one of his closest friends, Nico Papatakis is, above all, an explosive and independent filmmaker: the solitary author of a body work that resists time and critical categories. A cinema of insurrection and intensity.
