->''"Cinema is about resurrection. Cinema is about dealing with your own ghosts and bringing them to life. Cinema can explore your subconscious and your memories, but mostly it allows what is lost to come back."''

Olivier Assayas (born 1955) is a French director.

Assayas was exposed to show business at a young age through his father, screenwriter Jacques Rémy. His debut film, ''Film/ColdWater'', was screened in the Un Certain Regard at Cannes. Since then, he has racked up a filmography comprised of slow-burning, dramatic movies that tend towards the {{surreal|ism}} and psychological. He's been identified as one of the contributors to the New French Extremity wave of provocative films made at the TurnOfTheMillennium.
