The films of
Chiara Mastroianni


À nous deux (1979)
Claude Lelouch
  Ma saison préférée (1993)
André Téchiné
  Prêt-à-Porter (1994)
Robert Altman
 
     
An amusing variation on the Bonnie and Clyde story, À nous deux is fairly representative of director Claude Lelouch’s films from the 1970s...  [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...]   Prêt-à-Porter, arguably Robert Altman’s least worthy cinematic achievement, proves the age-old adage that a great cast and loads of money does not necessarily a great film make...  [More...]  

Les Voleurs (1996)
André Téchiné
  Trois vies et une seule mort (1996)
Raoul Ruiz
  À vendre (1998)
Laetitia Masson
 
     
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...]   In a film which looks suspiciously as if was conceived as a swansong for the legendary Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni , Chilean director Raoul Ruiz achieves a masterful melange of the surreal...  [More...]   This extraordinary and provocative analysis of a woman’s quest for fulfilment and self-realisation viewed from the perspective of an embittered solitary Italian is a stunning yet shocking piece of cinema...  [More...]  

Le Temps retrouvé (1999)
Raoul Ruiz
  L'Heure zéro (2007)
Pascal Thomas
  Les Chansons d'amour (2007)
Christophe Honoré
 
     
In this film, an adaptation of the final volume of Marcel Proust’s sixteen-volume epic À la récherche du temps perdu (aka: In Remembrance of Things Past)...  [More...]  
 [More...]
  Not for the first time, director Christophe Honoré challenges our assumptions and expectations with a film that is breathtakingly original in both its subject and its format...  [More...]  

Persepolis (2007)
Vincent Paronnaud
  Bancs publics (Versailles rive droite) (2008)
Bruno Podalydès
  Un conte de Noël (2008)
Arnaud Desplechin
 
     
One of the weirder French films of 2007, Persepolis is a genre-defying cinematic oddity that was both a commercial and critical success, and even managed to scoop the Jury Prize at Cannes that year...  [More...]
