Rémi Lange (4 February 1969 born in Gennevilliers, France) is a film director. Lange has made various films, mostly released directly to video, except Omelette (1998) where he filmed his own coming out, and its sequel Les Yeux brouillés (2000), which both had general cinematic release in France. His films have been shown and won awards at film festivals around the world.
Lange's films are not well known, but they do have a certain following. His usual themes are sexuality, notably homosexuality and queer culture (The Sex of Madame H, 2005). His films sometimes deliberately use amateur technology (Super 8 or miniDV). They are rich in personalities and events, macabre and funny at the same time, and always provocative. Rémi Lange touched on comedy and horror with Mes Parents (2004).
Rémi Lange founded his production company Les Films de l'Ange in 2004. In 2006 Rémi lange directs Statross le Magnifique which was released on DVD in France in June 2006.
Rémi Lange directed in 2007 Devotee who was screened at many gay and lesbian film festivals, such as OUTFEST in 2008 who wrote : "Daring and straightforward, DEVOTEE is the story of Hervé, an assertive 43-year-old man who was born without arms or legs. He meets a gorgeous young man online, a devotee (devoteeism (or acrotomophilia) is the sexual attraction to people with amputations) who seems like he might be different. Their encounter proves Hervé’s difficulty in finding a true connection with someone who is interested in treating him like a person rather than a mere fetish." Devotee was dvd released on the USA in 2009.
After, Remi Lange directed his 5th feature : Partir, the story of a young Tunisian boy goinng to France to shoot an underground movie... Partir was dvd released in France in Auguts 2009...
