Biography

Successivement journaliste, chargé de cours de découpage filmique à l'ENS Louis-Lumière, critique de cinéma, réalisateur audiovisuel et écrivain, Laurent Courtiaud rencontre Julien Carbon à Paris en 1990. De leur passion pour le cinéma asiatique nait un duo qui fera carrière en Chine, à Hong Kong.

Il participe d'abord à Butterfly Warriors, un luxueux fanzine sur le cinéma venu d'Asie, qui est alors pratiquement inconnu, et contribue à faire connaître celui de Hong Kong. En 1995, il se prépare à se lancer dans l'aventure hongkongaise tout en collaborant à la création de la revue HK Orient Extrême Cinéma.

En 1996, avec Julien Carbon, il vend son premier scénario au réalisateur Tsui Hark qui les invite à le rejoindre. Ensemble, ils intègrent la Film Workshop comme scénaristes, et là développent de nombreux scénarios. À la fin de leur contrat, ils se lancent à leur compte et connaissent le succès en 1999 avec Running Out of Time de Johnnie To. Julien Carbon et Laurent Courtiaud rejoignent un temps Vancouver pour participer au tournage de Black Door de Kit Wong, dont ils signent le scénario. Ils s'occupent ensuite de l'histoire de Black Mask 2 et écrivent le scénario du Talisman pour Michelle Yeoh. Ils travaillent ensuite comme scénaristes pour Wong Kar-wai et participent au tournage de In the Mood for Love.

En 2007, ils fondent leur maison de production Red East Pictures, en collaboration avec la réalisatrice Kit Wong, afin de réaliser leurs propres films, des œuvres de genre à forte identité.

En 2008, le duo réalise un court-métrage, Betrayal puis tourne en 2009 un premier long métrage Les Nuits rouges du Bourreau de Jade.

Aujourd'hui, Laurent Courtiaud s'est installé en France où il écrit pour le cinéma et la télévision.

The film takes place in Hong Kong, 1962. Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung), a journalist, rents a room in an apartment of a building on the same day as Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung), a secretary from a shipping company. They become next-door neighbours. Each has a spouse who works and often leaves them alone on overtime shifts. Despite the presence of a friendly Shanghainese landlady, Mrs. Suen, and bustling, mahjong-playing neighbours, Chow and Su often find themselves alone in their rooms. Their lives continue to intersect in everyday situations: a recurring motif in this film is the loneliness of eating alone, and the film documents the leads' chance encounters, each making their individual trek to the street noodle stall.
