Jan Kounen

Jan Kounen (born 2 May 1964, Utrecht, Netherlands) is a Dutch-born French film director and producer. In France, he is mostly known for his films Dobermann (1997), Blueberry, l'experience secrete (2004) and 99 francs (2007).

Most noticeable are the four videos he did for the English pop group Erasure in the 1990s (including three for the project Abba-esque) :
