The films of
José Garcia

Romuald et Juliette (1989)
Coline Serreau
  Élisa (1995)
Jean Becker
  Beaumarchais, l'insolent (1996)
Edouard Molinaro
 
     
Coline Serreau followed her box office hit Trois homes et un couffin (1985) with this charming romantic comedy which features an improbable romance against a backdrop of boardroom intrigue...  [More...]   Élisa is a clumsy but well-intentioned variation on the Lolita theme. The suggestion of incest earned the film a certain notoriety on its initial release in France...  [More...]   Based on a play by the eminent French film director Sacha Guitry (which was never performed), this film offers some fascinating insights into one of the most enigmatic and influential of French historical figures. ...  [More...]  

Extension du domaine de la lutte (1999)
Philippe Harel
  La Vérité si je mens! 2 (2001)
Thomas Gilou
  Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert (2001)
Philippe Harel
 
     
Philippe Harel both directs and stars in this quintessentially French portrait of existentialist angst and bitter reflection on the meaningless of life...  [More...]   With nearly eight million spectators and very favourable film reviews, La Vérité si je mens! 2 was by far the most successful French film comedy...  [More...]   Coming hot on the heels, if not in the slipstream, of Philippe Harel’s excellent Extension du domaine de la lutte (1999), Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert is something of a let down...  [More...]  

Le Boulet (2002)
Alain Berbérian
  Après vous... (2003)
Pierre Salvadori
  Le Couperet (2005)
Costa-Gavras
 
     
With some spectacular special effects (including a stunning car chase and an imaginative disaster movie sequence set in the centre of Paris), some great comedy and a sublime cast of established actors...  [More...]   For his fifth film, Pierre Salvadori follows a familiar pattern of outlandish comedy etched with bittersweet drama, revolving around the romantic entanglements of two improbably paired male characters...  [More...]   Costa-Gavras, renowned for an impressive series of political thriller-dramas in the ’70s and ’80s, makes a rare excursion into black comedy with this inspired adaptation of a popular novel by American writer...  [More...]  

Quatre étoiles (2006)
Christian Vincent
  Pars vite et reviens tard (2007)
Régis Wargnier
  Astérix aux jeux olympiques (2008)
Frédéric Forestier
 
     
If the plot of Quatre étoiles appears vaguely familiar that is probably because it is virtually identical to that of another French films, Hors de prix...  [More...]    [More...]    [More...]
