DIRECTOR FREARS WINS FRENCH PRIZE
British filmmaker STEPHEN FREARS has been honoured with a prestigious French arts award.
The Queen director was awarded the Commander of Arts and Letters prize by French Culture Minister Christine Albanel on Wednesday (18Mar09).
Frears' career has been heavily influenced by the country - his 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons was based on a novel by 18th century French writer Choderlos de Laclos, and upcoming movie Cheri is based on a book by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette.
He says, "I have always loved French cinema."
