Coralie Fargeat realized early on that she wanted to create films that departed from realism. This passion drove her towards genre movies that sparked her imagination.
Fargeat's childhood exposure to American genre films shaped her artistic vision. She credits movies like 'The Fly' and 'Mad Max' for taking her 'outside of the real world,' igniting her desire to direct.
Determined to break into the film industry, she pursued a less conventional path by focusing her academic studies on political science before transitioning directly into film production.
When searching for her first job, Fargeat approached an assistant director on campus, showing initiative that landed her a trainee role on 'Passion of Mind,' leading to her career in filmmaking.
