Andr� T�chin� is a French screenwriter and film director. He has a long and distinguished career that places him among the best post-New Wave French film directors. He belongs to a second generation of French film critics associated with Cahiers du cin�ma who followed Fran�ois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard and others from criticism into film-making. T�chin� is noted for his elegant and emotionally charged films that often delve into the complexities of emotions and the human condition. One of the trademarks of his filmography is the lyrical examination of human relations in a sensitive but unsentimental way, as can be seen in his most acclaimed films: My Favorite Season and Wild Reeds. [More at Wikipedia]
