Philippe de Broca 		  Les Sept péchés capitaux (1962)

 [More...]   This film is a curious mix of comedy, swash-buckling adventure, romance and tragic drama. Whilst it succeeds to some extent in all of these areas, the overall ensemble feels strangely lacking...  [More...]    [More...]  
Les Veinards (1962)
Philippe de Broca 		  L'Homme de Rio (1964)
Philippe de Broca 		  Le Roi de coeur (1966)

Much of this episodic comic film feels dated even by the standards of the early 1960s, and its all-star billing is largely wasted on the lacklustre material contrived by Jean Girault and his cohorts...  [More...]   This energetic adventure farce owes as much to the Tintin stories of Hergé as to the James Bond films. Filmed almost entirely on location in Brasil...  [More...]   Le Roi de coeur is an amazing film, one of those rare fanciful comedies that dares to tackle a genuine social or political issue and makes its point with a simplicity that is totally effective...  [More...]  
Le Diable par la queue (1969)
Philippe de Broca 		  Le Magnifique (1973)
Philippe de Broca 		  L'Incorrigible (1975)

Yves Montand shows great promise as a comic performer in this entertaining farce from Philippe de Broca. As is fairly typical of popular French comedies of this period...  [More...]   Very redolent of the era in which it was made, Le Magnifique is an ebullient mix of the truly bizarre and original which gives it a rare timeless quality...  [More...]   L’Incorrigible was the fifth collaboration between director Philippe de Broca and French film star Jean-Paul Belmondo, who had previously enjoyed phenomenal success with such films as L’Homme de Rio (1964)...  [More...]  
Tendre poulet (1978)
Philippe de Broca 		  Psy (1981)
Philippe de Broca 		  L'Africain (1983)
Philippe de Broca 		 
     
The inspired pairing of Annie Girardot and Philippe Noiret, two of the most familiar French actors of the 1970s, makes Tendre poulet one of director Philippe de Broca’s more entertaining and memorable films...  [More...]   The therapy culture, an emerging phenomenon in France in the late 1970s, is an area which is ripe for satire, and Philipe de Broca’s comedy Psy manages to tap into this rich vein with great success...  [More...]   This well-paced adventure-comedy from Philippe de Broca takes an ironic swipe at colonialism and conservatism whilst offering a satisfying parody of the Hollywood African adventure sub-genre...  [More...]  
Chouans! (1988)
Philippe de Broca 		  Le Bossu (1997)
Philippe de Broca 		  Amazone (2000)
Philippe de Broca 		 
     
 [More...]   This is an action-packed two hours of swash-buckling adventure of the Three Musketeers kind in which French cinema has revelled and excelled for decades...  [More...]   This sixth collaboration of actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and director Philippe de Broca is one to be avoided at all costs. De Broca’s imagination and energy have clearly been depleted by this stage in his career...  [More...]
