Politically committed to the left, Romain Goupil, born in 1951, is the most eloquent representative of the spirit of the revolution of May 1968. From his first feature in 1982, _Mourir à 30 ans , he has managed to remain faithful to his ideals, quite a feat if you think of all of his fellow revolutionaries who have changed sides, lured by money and/or power. His films, whether documentaries or fiction, have failed -with one or two exceptions - to draw large audience but they will remain a mirror of a whole generation.
President of the jury at the entrance examination of La Fmis (Frances national film school) in 2004.
Has supported Nol Mamre s 2002 presidential campaign.
Grandson of Lita Recio.
