Jean-Luc Godard
  Rendez-vous (1985)
André Téchiné
  Mauvais sang (1986)
Leos Carax
 
     
As would be expected for a film that openly purports to present an up-dated version of the Biblical virgin birth, Je vous salue, Marie created a storm of controversy when it was released...  [More...]   Rendez-vous is a dark yet powerful examination of love and sexual desire from the point of view of three emotionally scarred young people. It is stunningly photographed and boasts some fine acting...  [More...]   Leos Carax reaffirmed his standing as an avant-garde French film director of the 1980s with this immensely stylish and daring thriller which pushes the film noir genre into exciting new territory...  [More...]

Leos Carax
  Trois couleurs: Bleu (1993)
Krzysztof Kieslowski
  Trois couleurs: Blanc (1994)
Krzysztof Kieslowski
 
     
Les Amants du Pont-Neuf was one of the French film sensations of the 1990s, an imaginative and provocative film which was praised in some quarters as vociferously as it was pilloried in others...  [More...]   The first instalment in Polish film director Krzysztof Kieslowski’s acclaimed trilogy Bleu, Blanc, Rouge (taken from the three colours of the French flag) uses the subject of Liberté (Freedom) to provide...  [More...]   The second film in Krzysztof Kieslowski’s acclaimed Bleu-Blanc-Rrouge trilogy explores the theme of égalité (equality), but from an unusual...  [More...]
