Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1958) Louis Malle   Les Amants (1959) Louis Malle   Zazie dans le métro (1960) Louis Malle         For his remarkable cinematic debut, director Louis Malle brought a fresh and original approach to the film policier, the most popular genre in French cinema of the 1950s...  [More...]   Despite being a fairly predictable study of a woman’s mid-life crisis, this film succeeds admirably on the strength of the camera work and Jeanne Moreau’s performance...  [More...]   This early Louis Malle film is a sparkling French farce, very reminiscent of the comic silent movies of the 1920s. A precocious little girl, with a foul mouth and a wicked sense of fun...  [More...]   Vie privée (1962) Louis Malle   Vive le tour (1962) Louis Malle   Le Feu follet (1963) Louis Malle         Brigitte Bardot hadn’t quite reached the highpoint of her career when she agreed to make this film with high profile New Wave film director Louis Malle...  [More...]   Vive le tour is director Louis Malle’s affectionate homage to one of France’s most treasured institutions, the Tour de France cycle race...  [More...]   Louis Malle’s bleakest film is this haunting portrait of a wreck of a man quietly counting down his last few hours before his well-planned suicide...  [More...]   Viva Maria! (1965) Louis Malle   Le Voleur (1967) Louis Malle   Histoires extraordinaires (1968) Federico Fellini         Viva María! is a striking contrast – both in scale and mood – to Louis Malle’s previous film, the spatially confined, intensely melancholic Feu Follet (1963)...  [More...]   Sadly underrated, Le Voleur is one of Louis Malle’s most attractive films, an entertaining and beautifully crafted comedy which gleefully satirises the attitudes of the nouveaux riches...  [More...]    [More...]   Le Souffle au coeur (1971) Louis Malle   Lacombe Lucien (1974) Louis Malle   Black Moon (1975) Louis Malle         This is a perceptive and moving – indeed provocative – film exploring a young teenage boy’s sexual awakening. It captures the anxieties...  [More...]   Lacombe Lucien is a brilliant study of the corruption of innocence and the realisation of guilt in a young impressionable adult. It is one of the finest films made by director Louis Malle...  [More...]   Black Moon is one of the few truly experimental films to have been made since WWII, a bizarre free-flowing expressionist fantasy which evokes the early work of Jean Cocteau and Luis Buñuel...  [More...]   Au revoir, les enfants (1987) Louis Malle   Milou en mai (1990) Louis Malle           A film that is both very perceptive about child psychology and deeply moving, Au revoir, les enfants is easily one of Louis Malles’s best films...  [More...]   Whilst not as imposing as some of his earlier films, Milou en Mai is a popular Louis Malle film, having a feeling of warmth and humanity which is not so visible in those films. This is a light satire on bourgeois society...  [More...]
