Source-derived summary

Josée Deshaies (French: [ʒoze deɛ]) is a French-Canadian cinematographer. She is known for her frequent collaborations with filmmaker Bertrand Bonello. She has been nominated twice for the César Award for Best Cinematography.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Josée Deshaies” as french-Canadian cinematographer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 32-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2000. The account is most persuasive where Josée, Deshaies and French-Canadian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french-Canadian cinematographer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3186633. VIAF identifies the subject as 106024945. The Library of Congress control number is no2007052710. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
