It's hard to believe that it's been eight years since the last Jean-Jacques Beineix film, 1992's "IP5." For a director with such a devoted following, this may seem surprising, but when veteran actor Yves Montand died shortly after wrapping "IP5," the French media blamed Beineix for overworking him, and his name was mud.
