RIP to a legit GOAT of the craft
French Nu Wave films were the FIRST things to open my mind to non commercial fine art forreal
everything from my taste in music/games/fashion opened up.
I used to think if something wasn't mainstream then it was underground, and that meant street shyt to me cuz mixtapes and bootleg stuff was the only other niche world i had been exposed to at the time just on some black experience in america type shyt
I was able to make it into entertainment on my own without any college but Jean Luc was one of the few things i immediately had in common with my coworkers cuz they ALL get taught that man's work in college film programs
solidified in history
met one of my best friends in life almost 10 years ago out in London based on this mans shyt
when i first started dabbling in making beats i would just put one of his movies on to catch a vibe
if Blu doesn't use "Breathless" in Unitlted(LovedU)2 i mighta NEVER thought about working in the art field at all
I've got only 2-3 other artist who've made as much impact
just off of their work, opening some shyt in my brain and it actually working out into real life gains. He's one of em
