Gérard Corbiau

Gérard Corbiau was born in Brussels on 19 September 1941. He joined the Belgian public radio and television service in 1968, where he made more than fifty reports, then, from 1980, television films devoted to music. He then moved to cinema with costume dramas in which music plays the leading role: the second of them, about an eighteenth-century castrato, received the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 1995 and, like the first, was nominated for the Oscar.
