ERIC NEVEUX
|
Pour Éric Neveux, la musique est une vocation qui rencontre le cinéma l’année de ses 25 ans.
Fasciné par la scène Downtempo de Bristol, Éric vient de signer, sous le nom de Mr Neveux, l’album TUBA pour le label Cup of Tea Records. François Ozon, frais émoulu de la FEMIS, lui demande de composer la musique de son premier moyen métrage Regarde La Mer, puis celle de son premier long métrage Sitcom. Dès lors, Éric Neveux est déterminé à conjuguer au futur Musique et Cinéma. Sa rencontre avec Patrice Chéreau pour Ceux Qui m’Aiment Prendront Le Train, en sélection officielle du Festival de Cannes 1998, sera déterminante et fondatrice. Au contact d'un réalisateur aussi exigeant que créatif, Éric Neveux approfondira son approche cinématographique de la composition en terme de sens et de narration. Il signera la partition de Intimité, Golden Bear Award au Festival de Berlin 2001, celle de Persécution, primé à la Mostra de Venise en 2009, et suivra son mentor au Théâtre pour une série de collaborations remarquables. Avec plus de 70 longs-métrages, Éric Neveux s’est naturellement imposé comme l'interlocuteur privilégié de réalisateurs de films d’auteur originaux et exigeants : Rachid Bouchareb pour sa " Trilogie Américaine ", Isabelle Czajka ( La Vie Domestique ), Emmanuelle Bercot ( La Tête Haute, en ouverture du Festival de Cannes 2015 ), Ziad Doueiri ( L'Attentat, puis L'Insulte nommé aux Oscars 2018) . En 2020, il signe la partition du très beau film d'Emmanuelle Bercot De Son Vivant, en sélection officielle du Festival de Cannes, César du Meilleur Acteur pour Benoît Magimel. Son style s'est également imposé dans des films plus grand public comme Poly de Nicolas Vanier ou Les Vacances Du Petit Nicolas de Laurent Tirard, des documentaires ambitieux pour le cinéma ( Il Ètait Une Forêt de Luc Jacquet ) et la télévision ( Inside Obama's White House pour la BBC ), ainsi que nombre de téléfilms, parmi lesquels Un Homme Abimé de Philippe Triboit, récompensé au Festival de La Rochelle en 2019, et L'Enfant de Personne d'Akim Isker, Prix du Meilleur Unitaire du Festival de la Rochelle en 2021. Le film d'animation lui a offert un joli terrain de jeu, et il jouera en virtuose avec Le Voyage De Ricky de Toby Genkel & Reza Memary, Zombillénium d'Arthur De Pins et Alexis Ducord ( Sélection officielle 2017 au Festival de Cannes et au Festival International du film d'Animation d’Annecy ) , Samsam de Tanguy de Kermel ( 2020 ) et le 2ème opus des Aventures de Ricky (2023) réalisé par Mette Ranke-Tange. Côté séries, on peut citer les saisons 2 & 3 de Borgia de Tom Fontana pour Canal +, les 7 saisons d’Un Village Français, et plus récemment, pour son complice Ziad Doueiri, la bande originale de Dérapages pour Arte et Netflix, puis celle de Coeurs Noirs diffusée sur Prime Video puis sur France 2 en 2024. Pour Éric Neveux, tout est quête de sens et quête de son. Son travail de composition et de production, aussi passionné qu’exigeant, est porté par une inspiration qui puise aux sources de divers courants musicaux qu’il n’hésite pas à détourner, les couleurs d’une écriture singulière et très personnelle au seul service de l’image. |
ENGLISH VERSION
For Eric Neveux, music is a vocation that meets cinema in the year of his 25th birthday.
Fascinated by the Downtempo scene in Bristol, Eric has just signed, under the name of Mr Neveux, the album TUBA for the Cup of Tea Records label. François Ozon, fresh from FEMIS, asked him to compose the music for his first medium-length film Regarde La Mer, then for his first feature film Sitcom. From then on, Eric Neveux was determined to combine Music and Cinema with the future.
His meeting with Patrice Chéreau for Ceux Qui M'aiment Prendront Le Train, in the official selection of the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, was decisive and founding. In contact with a director as demanding as he is creative, Eric Neveux will deepen his cinematographic approach to composition in terms of meaning and narrative. He will write the score of Intimacy, Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Festival in 2001, then Persecution, which won an award at the Venice Mostra in 2009, and will follow his mentor to the Theatre for a series of remarkable collaborations.
With more than 70 feature films, Eric Neveux has naturally established itself as the preferred partner of original and demanding auteur filmmakers: Rachid Bouchared ( American Trilogy ), Isabelle Czajka ( La Vie Domestique ), Emmanuelle Bercot ( Standing Tall, at the opening of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival), Ziad Doueiri ( The Attack, then The Insult nominated for the Oscars 2018 ). In 2020, he wrote the score for Emmanuelle Bercot's beautiful film De Son Vivant, in official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, which won Benoît Magimel a César for Best Actor.
His style has also established itself in mainstream films such as Poly by Nicolas Vanier (2020) or Laurent Tirard's Nicolas on Holiday, ambitious documentaries for the cinema ( Il Ètait Une Forêt by Luc Jacquet ) and television ( Inside Obama's White House for the BBC ), as well as a number of TV films, including Philippe Triboit's Un Homme Abimé and L'Enfant de Personne by Akim Isker, both awarded at the La Rochelle TV Festival.
The animation film has provided him with a beautiful playground, and he will play virtuoso with Toby Genkel & Reza Memary's A Stork's Journey, Arthur De Pins and Alexis Ducord's Zombillénium (Official Selection 2017 at the Cannes Film Festival and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival) and Samsam de Tanguy de Kermel (release in 2020). In 2023, he records the score of the Aventures de Ricky (2023) directed by Mette Ranke-Tange.
As for series, we can mention, among others, Tom Fontana's Borgia for Canal +, the 7 seasons of Un Village Français, and more recently, for his accomplice Ziad Doueiri, the soundtrack of Dérapages for Arte and Netflix, then Black Hearts broadcast on Prime Video and France TV.
For Eric Neveux, everything is a quest for meaning and sound.
His work of composition and production, as passionate as it is demanding, is carried by an inspiration that draws on the sources of various musical currents, which he does not hesitate to divert, the colours of a singular and very personal writing at the sole service of the image.
