The films of
Marie-France Pisier
Antoine et Colette (1962)
François Truffaut 		  Le Diable et les dix commandements (1962)
Julien Duvivier 		  Le Vampire de Düsseldorf (1965)
Robert Hossein 		 
     
Shortly after completing work on Jules et Jim, François Truffaut was commissioned by the producer Pierre Roustang to contribute a short film segment to his anthology L’Amour à vingt ans...  [More...]   The multi-part film is a difficult kind of cinema to get right but Duvivier’s Le Diable et les dix commandements is a rare exception where the form succeeds admirably...  [More...]    [More...]  
Baisers volés (1968)
François Truffaut 		  Le Fantôme de la liberté (1974)
Luis Buñuel 		  Souvenirs d'en France (1975)
André Téchiné 		 
     
Six years after Antoine Doinel appeared in the Antoine et Colette segment of the compendium film L’Amour à vingt ans, François Truffaut felt the time was right to resurrect his famous alter ego...  [More...]   Following a line from his earlier film, La Voie lactée (1969), Luis Buñuel gives free reign to his own phantom of liberty in this highly entertaining satirical comedy...  [More...]   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 (1976)
André Téchiné 		  Le Corps de mon ennemi (1976)
Henri Verneuil 		  L'Amour en fuite (1979)
François Truffaut 		 
     
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...]   In stark contrast to the crime thrillers with which Belmondo is better known, Le Corps de mon ennemi has an almost total absence of action and physical displays of violence...  [More...]   With L’Amour en fuite, the fifth and final instalment in the Antoine Doinel saga, François Truffaut closes the book on his favourite character...  [More...]  
Les Soeurs Brontë (1979)
André Téchiné 		  La Banquière (1980)
Francis Girod 		  L'As des as (1982)
Gérard Oury 		 
     
André Téchiné directs this intensely sombre portrait of the famous Brontë sisters with a love of his subject and an acute artistic vision...  [More...]   Romy Schneider delivers one of her most memorable performances in this lavish period production from director Francis Girod. The Austrian-born actress who became a star of French cinema in the 1960s was at her peak when...  [More...]   In a similar vein to Oury’s phenomenally successful 1966 film La Grande vadrouille, L’As des as is a lavish action-comedy set at the time of the Third Reich...  [More...]  
Le Prix du danger (1983)
Yves Boisset 		  Le Temps retrouvé (1999)
Raoul Ruiz 		  Sur un air d'autoroute (2000)
Thierry Boscheron 		 
     
The term "reality TV" hadn’t even been coined when this film was released in the early 1980s, yet what it shows is a vision of the future that has all but become our present reality...  [More...]   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...]   A wacky film if ever there was one, Sur un air d’autoroutetakes a conventional (pretty mundane) love story and twists it into a hip, surreal black comedy...  [More...]
