His brother, Thierry Garrel, is a producer. The younger Garrel became interested in film and started his career early, influenced by the new work of Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. At the age of 16, Garrel wrote and directed his first film, Les Enfants dĂ©saccordĂ©s, in 1964. His films have won him awards at Cannes Film Festival , Venice Film Festival, and Berlin Film Festival.
