Nicolas Livecchi
Nicolas Livecchi, a name you might not spot on the front of every billboard, but man, his filmography’s got some hidden bangers. First up, “Emilia Pérez” (2024) – this one’s a wild ride. It throws you into the chaos and color of the Latin American underworld, but not in that tired, gritty way everyone’s seen a million times. Instead, it’s got this off-kilter musical vibe, where crime bosses break into song and legal drama collides with identity twists. Livecchi’s fingerprints are all over the film’s energy—he brings a kind of pulsing rhythm to the storytelling that keeps you guessing. It’s bold, a little bonkers, and honestly, a total breath of fresh air for crime cinema.
Then there’s “Jackie” (2016). Yeah, the one with Natalie Portman killing it as Jackie Kennedy. Livecchi’s role? Way more behind the scenes, but the guy’s got an eye for detail. The film dives deep into Jackie’s world after JFK’s assassination, and it’s not just your standard biopic. It’s raw, intimate, and Livecchi helps give it that almost claustrophobic tension—like you’re right there in those suffocating White House halls.
Can’t forget “La Tortue rouge” (2016), either. This one’s a gorgeous, almost meditative animated film. No dialogue, just lush visuals and a haunting score. Livecchi taps into the emotion and atmosphere, helping craft a story that hits you in the gut without saying a word. It’s about survival, loss, and strange, magical transformations—a far cry from his other projects, but that’s what makes his work so interesting. The guy’s got range for days.
