Connection
Christian Carion is a Actor, Director and Scriptwriter French born on 4 january 1963 at Cambrai (France)
Christian Carion est un réalisateur français né le 4 janvier 1963 à Cambrai (Nord).
En 2001, Christian Carion passe au long-métrage, dirigeant le tandem Michel Serrault - Mathilde Seigner dans Une hirondelle a fait le printemps, une forme d'hommage à ses origines qui séduit 2,4 millions de spectateurs français. Fort de ce succès, le cinéaste s'attaque à un projet plus ambitieux, initié en 1993 : Joyeux Noël. Présentée Hors Compétition au Festival de Cannes 2005, cette fresque historique sur fond de Première Guerre mondiale réunit un casting franco-allemand composé notamment de Guillaume Canet, Diane Kruger et Daniel Brühl. En 2006, ce long métrage sera nommé à plusieurs reprises aux César et représente la France en 2006 pour la course à l'Oscar du Meilleur film étranger. Il crée alors l'association « Noël 14 », qui porte la création du monument des fraternisations.
Fidèle à ses comédiens, Christian Carion retrouvera deux ans après Guillaume Canet pour le propulser au cœur de L'Affaire Farewell, un thriller d'espionnage inspiré de faits réels et également interprété par Emir Kusturica.
En 2014 il filme, sur les routes du Nord-Pas-de-Calais, En mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît. Un film historique qui conte l'histoire de millions de Nordistes jetés sur les routes en mai 1940 par l'arrivée des troupes allemandes sur le territoire français. Basé sur de nombreux témoignages recueillis auprès des Nordistes, le film déroule l'histoire d'un Allemand qui tente de retrouver son fils, embarqué dans l'exode par les villageois de Lebucquière. La musique du film est signée d'Ennio Morriconne.
Il retourne six jours derrière la caméra en 2016 pour le tournage de son prochain long-métrage, intitulé Mon garçon.

Biography
Né de parents agriculteurs, Christian Carion développe une passion pour le cinéma dès l'âge de treize ans. Après un bac C et une classe prépa, il intègre une école d'ingénieur au ministère de l'Agriculture (ENGEES), respectant ainsi les souhaits de sa famille. Se décidant ensuite à se consacrer au septième art, il loue une caméra vidéo, se met à faire des films "sans intérêt" selon ses dires, puis fait la rencontre de Christophe Rossignon, c'est à ce moment-là que débute sa carrière de producteur. Ce dernier sera d'ailleurs l'interprète d'un de ses courts métrages, Monsieur le député, en 1999.En 2001, Christian Carion passe au long-métrage, dirigeant le tandem Michel Serrault - Mathilde Seigner dans Une hirondelle a fait le printemps, une forme d'hommage à ses origines qui séduit 2,4 millions de spectateurs français.

In the early 1980s, a high-ranking KGB analyst, Sergei Grigoriev, disillusioned with the Soviet regime, decides to pass Soviet secrets, including a list of Soviet spies, to the government of France, then under the newly elected President François Mitterrand, a Socialist in coalition with the Communist Party. Grigoriev (code-named Farewell by the French intelligence service) hopes to force change in the Soviet Union by revealing their extensive network of spies trying to acquire scientific, technical and industrial information from the West. He uses Pierre Froment, a naïve French engineer based in Moscow, as his unlikely intermediary. After the first transfer of information, Pierre confides in his wife Jessica, who is adamant about his stopping to preserve their family. Grigoriev persuades Pierre to continue without telling Jessica. He will accept neither money nor defection as a reward, but sometimes requests small gifts from Pierre's trips to France, such as a Sony Walkman and Queen cassette tapes for his son, some cognac, or books of French poetry. As Farewell's prodigious output blossoms, the French are bewildered by the sheer scale and yield of top Western technology transferred covertly to the Soviets.

Alexandre Beck is a doctor who has slowly been putting his life back together after his wife Margot was murdered by a serial killer. Eight years on, Alex is doing well, until he finds himself implicated in a double homicide, which has plenty of evidence pointing to him as the killer – though he knows nothing of the crimes. The same day, Alex receives an email that appears to be from Margot, which includes a link to a surveillance video clip that features his late wife looking alive and well. The message warns Alex that they are both being watched. He struggles to stay one step ahead of the law, while henchmen intimidate Alex's friends into telling them whatever they might know about him – the henchmen eventually kill one of them, Charlotte. In the meantime, Alex's sister Anne persuades her well-off wife Hélène to hire a respected attorney, Élisabeth Feldman, to handle Alex's case.
