His mother is a French Catholic, while his father is a Hungarian Jew who fled during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Mathieu has referred to himself as "not Jewish, but I was brought up in a world of Jewish humor."
Personal life
Kassovitz is married to French actress Julie Mauduech, who directed and appeared in his 1993 film Métisse (Café au lait, English title) and made a brief appearance in La Haine (during the scene in the Parisian art gallery).
Kassovitz won the Rallye Monte Carlo à Énergie Alternative (starting event of the FIA Alternative Energies Cup) in the category restricted to electric vehicles in 2009.
Kassovitz has also been known for his outspokenness in making inflammatory remarks on socio-political topics. Kassovitz was a vocal critic of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who wrote on his blog as having "ideas that not only reveal his inexperience in politics and human relations, but also reveal the more nuanced and egocentric aspects of a puny, will-be Napoleon." In a 2012 interview, he described the outgoing Sarkozy government as "horrible."
Career
Kassovitz, as a filmmaker, has had many artistic and commercial successes. La Haine (Hate, 1996), a film about class, ethnicity, brutality, and police brutality, was written and directed by him. At the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, the film received the César Award for Best Film and netted Kassovitz the Best Director award.
He later produced Les Rivières Pourpres (2000), a police detective drama starring Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel, another massive commercial success in France, and Gothika (2003), a fantasy thriller starring Halle Berry and Penélope Cruz, which grossed over three times its roughly $40 million budget. He used the money he earned from Gothika to create Babylon Babies, a more personal project based on Maurice Dantec's novel. In 2000, Kassovitz founded MNP Entreprise, "to create and produce feature films by Kassovitz, as well as his image as a director and actor." MNP Entreprise is responsible for a number of films, including Avida (2006), in which Kassovitz appears and Babylon A.D., which he produced, was produced by MNP Entreprise. Kassovitz acquired the film rights for the Congolese writer Emmanuel Dongala's book Johnny Mad Dog. MNP Entreprise co-produced the film and directed Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire. The premiere of the film was shot at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, where it was shown within the Uncertain Regard section.
He starred and produced Rebellion, a war film based on a true tale of French commandos who fought with tribes in New Caledonia, France's Melanesian region. MNP's forthcoming science fiction film MNP is named after Mir Space Station, whose writing in Cyrillic letters (ир) looks like the letters MNP and also the production company.
In Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film Amélie, Kassovitz is most well-known outside of France for his role as Nino Quincampoix. He appeared in La Haine (which he also produced), Birthday Girl, and The Fifth Element. He appeared in A Self-Made Hero (1996) by Jacques Audiard and in Amen. Costa-Gavras, 2003. In Steven Spielberg's 2005 film Munich, Kassovitz plays a frustrated Belgian explosives expert as well as Eric Bana and Geoffrey Rush.
