Foi criado na Grécia, onde os seus pais eram ambos instrutores de mergulho nos Club Méditerranée. Isso fez com que desde muito cedo tivesse tido contato com os esportes e, com a vida aquática, tendo lhe sido assim motivado o interesse pelas ciências marítimas, rumo que, pretendia seguir.
Aos 17 anos, um acidente impedia-o de voltar a praticar esportes náuticos. Como sempre fora bastante criativo, nas horas vagas gostava de inventar histórias, decidira conduzir por aí o seu futuro.
Com 18 anos, estabeleceu-se na sua cidade natal, Paris, e, começa a trabalhar aí na área do cinema. Tirou o curso de cinema nos Estados Unidos da América. Após o término do curso, regressa a França para se dedicar ao cinema por inteiro.
Os seus principais trabalhos foram: O Último Combate (1983), Subway (1985), Imensidão Azul (1988), O Quinto Elemento (1997), Joana D'Arc (1999), B13 - 13º Distrito (2004), Arthur e os Minimoys (2006) B13-U: 13º Distrito Ultimato (2009).
