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...] |

|
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...] |
