Souvenirs d'en France (1975) André Téchiné |
Barocco (1976) André Téchiné |
Les Soeurs Brontë (1979) André Téchiné |
|||
|
|
|

| Téchiné’s second film is a curious mix of black comedy, romantic drama and nostalgia, told in an unsettling inconsistent style. The film begins as what appears to be a straightforward provincial romance... [More...] | Barocco is in essence a great film which has been savagely mutilated through a combination of not entirely convincing acting and excessively self-conscious photography... [More...] | André Téchiné directs this intensely sombre portrait of the famous Brontë sisters with a love of his subject and an acute artistic vision... [More...] |

Hôtel des Amériques (1981) André Téchiné |
Rendez-vous (1985) André Téchiné |
Le Lieu du crime (1986) André Téchiné |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| This is a very atmospheric film exploring the complex and strained relationship between a sucessful, but traumatised middle-aged woman and an unfulfilled and emotionally unbalanced man... [More...] | Rendez-vous is a dark yet powerful examination of love and sexual desire from the point of view of three emotionally scarred young people. It is stunningly photographed and boasts some fine acting... [More...] | It is debatable as to which is the least credible in this film – the plot or the singularly odd characters which populate it. Neither stands up well to even a superficial analysis and you are left with the feeling... [More...] |

Les Innocents (1987) André Téchiné |
J'embrasse pas (1991) André Téchiné |
Ma saison préférée (1993) André Téchiné |

|
|
|

|
|
J’embrasse pas is a grim, melancholic portrait of a bright-eyed adolescent searching and failing to find meaning in his life. Although it doesn’t achieve the realism and force of André Téchiné’s... [More...] | This is an impressive film which succeeds admirably in exploring a complex brother-sister relationship in middle-age. During his career as a film director... [More...] |

Les Roseaux sauvages (1994) André Téchiné |
Les Voleurs (1996) André Téchiné |
Alice et Martin (1998) André Téchiné |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| André Téchiné’s best film to date is this sensitive and compelling coming of age drama set on the eve of Algeria’s independence from France... [More...] | With its bizarre construction (relying heavily on out-of-sequence flashbacks), Les Voleurs appears more like an intellectual exercise than a conventional passive cinema experience... [More...] | As in his earlier film Les Voleurs, Techiné uses the trick of telling part of the story out of sequence – in this case to reveal Martin’s terrible secret... [More...] |

Loin (2001) André Téchiné |
Les Égarés (2003) André Téchiné |
Les Temps qui changent (2004) André Téchiné |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| With its North African setting and harrowing sense of realism, Loin makes a striking contrast with the kind of film for which director André Téchiné is best known... [More...] | This engaging wartime drama from director André Téchiné is a fine adaptation of the novel "Le Garçon aux yeux gris" Gilles Perrault... [More...] | French film icons Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu are reunited for their sixth on-screen romantic liaison in this moody drama from director André Téchiné... [More...] |
