Born Vincent Paronnaud in 1970, Winshluss is a French comic book author and filmmaker known for his scathing social critique and chaotic, versatile drawing style. Alongside his partner, animator Marjane Satrapi (author of Persepolis ), he co-directed the Academy Award-nominated film Persepolis (2007). However, his solo work, particularly Pinocchio , exists in a different universe entirely—one filled with rape, murder, corporate greed, and bodily horror.
