Muriel Téodori

Muriel Téodori (born September 8, 1958) is a French psychoanalyst, writer, film maker and film producer.

Muriel Téodori graduated with degrees in philosophy and clinical psychopathology and went on to teach philosophy.

Developing an interest in film, Téodori collaborated on several screenplays for feature films, including Tom and Lola, The Shadow and The Silences of the Palace, and directed several short films. The first feature film she directed was Sans plomb in 2000, which premiered at the Cabourg Film Festival. Although well received by critics, it was not a commercial success.

In 1992 Téodori taught film-making at La Fémis. She also worked as a journalist for Elle using the pseudonym Jeanne Chuzelles.

In 2007 Téodori wrote the libretto for an opera released by Deutsche Grammophon titled Welcome to the Voice with Steve Nieve, Sting, Robert Wyatt, Elvis Costello and Barbara Bonney as the main performers. The opera received a mixed reception in France, but was well received in the United States. Time Magazine noted the modernity of the opera and how well it was received.

In 1997 Téodori published a book with philosopher Jacques Dechamps.
