Biography
Born in Argentina to a Russian Jewish family, Nelly Kaplan relocated to Paris at age seventeen, where she became an assistant to legendary director Abel Gance before directing her first feature, the caustic revenge comedy A Very Curious Girl. Transgressive, satirical, and surreal, Kaplan's films are defined by their proactive female protagonists.
