With a career spanning 50 years, Eric Demarsan and Hervé Hadmar enjoy a close working relationship, which began with the mini-series Les oubliées (2007) and continued with Pigalle la nuit, Signature, Les Témoins and Au-delà des murs (2016). Together, they have just completed Romance, broadcast in June on France 2.
Eric Demarsan broke into the audiovisual world in the 1970s, notably through his work as an orchestrator with renowned film composers such as Michel Magne and François de Roubaix. He composed music for some of the greatest classics of French film noir, notably for Jean-Pierre Melville's L'armée de l'ombre (1969) and Le cercle rouge (1970). In the 2000s, these landmark scores brought him into contact with filmmaker Guillaume Nicloux, and he became his regular composer, working on Une affaire privée (2002), Cette femme-là, Le Concile de pierre and, more recently, The End or L'affaire Gordji, histoire d'une cohabitation (2012). He also co-starred in 7 Jean-Pierre Mocky films, including L'ibis rouge, and has worked with many other directors: Christian Gion with C'est dur pour tout le monde, Costa-Gavras with Section spéciale, Pierre Zucca with Roberte and Patrice Leconte with Les spécialistes. He also worked on Pierre Granier-Deferre's La dernière fête and Jacques Deray's Clarissa.
