Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé
Not Here to Be Loved

Competing for the Altadis-New Directors Award and the Montblanc Award for New Screenwriters.
55-year-old bailiff Jean-Claude Delsart wants to be happy, but just doesn?t seem able to get it right. He lives deep in constant gloom, viewing his life as nothing but a string of sentimental failures: his marriage ends in divorce, his relation with his only son is cold and superficial, and to boot he?s convinced that his sour old crone of a father never loved him... One day, Jean-Claude decides to join a new tango school across the road from his office. There he meets Françoise, a 36-year-old woman. Françoise skates on the same emotional ice-rink. It would simply be easier for them not to get involved... unless they both realise that this could well be their last chance.

Stéphane Brizé
In 1993, he made his first short film, Bleu dommage, with which he obtained the Grand Prix at Cognac Festival. L?oeil qui traîne (1996), his second short film, won prizes at several French festivals. His first feature film, Le bleu des villes (1999) participated at the Cannes Director?s Fortnight and won the Award for Best Script at Deauville. Since then, he has made the documentary Bel instant (2004) and the short film Une vie de rêves (2005). Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé is his second feature film.
