After starting out in café-théâtre, Pierre Salvadori worked as a scriptwriter for TV before writing his first film script in 1989. Four years later this became Cible émouvante where a still unknown Guillaume Depardieu played alongside Jean Rochefort and Marie Trintignant. "Pierre Salvadori is full of dark humour and rich gags.
