Tony Baillargeat (b. 1970)

Birthplace:
Saumur, France

Born:
April 5, 1970

Born in Saumur (Maine-et-Loire), he spent his adolescence in Tübingen (Germany). At nineteen, he made a stint with the marines of Lorient.  He arrived in Paris in 1993 and directed his first feature film entitled Les Déclassés in 1997, which was only released in 2001 in Germany1. This film, in spite of its lack of means, is a success of esteem in Germany, where it is considered as one of the best French films of the last ten years by Hans Schiffer in the Süddeutsche Zeitung.  He also signs a short film, Eternae (dedicated to his writer friend Jean Parvulesco). This one is integrated with several others which, directed by the directors of the various European capitals (among which Xawery Zulawski, Richard Stanley, Harry Kümel, Nacho Cerda ...) form a feature film entitled Europe - 99euro-films.  He participates, as an actor, in various television series (Homicides, Commissioner Moulin, Duval and Moretti, etc.) and in some feature films (Sombre, The President, Première Neiges).  In January 2007, he co-produced the Seasons of Souls album (Fremeaux et associés) which marks the return of Bob Lenox then, in 2010, participated in the development of Bruno Putzulu's first album, Drôle de monde.  Her first novel titled Jihad or Mary's Salvation was released in 2006, followed by a second, The Last Voyage (2008), dedicated to her daughter Thelma; both are published by La Compagnie Littéraire.  In May 2013, he released a small booklet entitled Arsène Lupine, À propos de l'E (s) toile (Éditions La Compagnie Littéraire) devoted to the gentleman-burglar and his double in flesh and blood: Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair. It is presented on the back cover as being the report of a “mysterosophical” meeting that took place on the afternoon of June 21, 2010 between Jean Parvulesco, Arnaud de l'Estoile and himself.  He also signs the foreword to a book by Jean-Paul Bourre: The Elected of the Red Serpent: The Sphinx and the President and has released a book of interviews with this same author entitled: The awakening of Kernunos at Éditions Alexipharmaque.  In 2016, Tony Baillargeat directed Tanya Drouginska's first music video for the title La Mariée.

The Search Form


About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
