| Attracting around 7.2 million cinema-goers in France alone, Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob was by far the most popular film to be released in France in 1973... [More...] | The hippy movement was almost a thing of the past by the time director Georges Lautner came to make this film. Although primarily a parody thriller... [More...] | In this alternately disturbing and humorous film, controversial director Claude Faraldo paints a bleak picture suggesting that a reversion to the stone age may be preferable to living the stale sanitised existence which...

Lily, aime-moi (1975) Maurice Dugowson |
F... comme Fairbanks (1976) Maurice Dugowson |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| Not only is this Bertrand Blier’s first major film; it is also the film which propelled actor Gérard Depardieu to stardom. Although the film has its strengths – mainly some very funny comic situations... [More...] |

Coup de foudre (1983) Diane Kurys |
Tenue de soirée (1986) Bertrand Blier |
La Lectrice (1988) Michel Deville |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| With two formidable actresses in the leading roles and a female director, Coup de foudre is a rare French film with a distinctly feminine perspective... [More...] | French film director Bertrand Blier is no stranger to controversy, and in Tenue de soirée he frames possibly his most explicit and shocking view of the devastating power of human sexuality... [More...] | This is a film which is not just about the pleasure of reading but also about the power it has to alter our perception of the world, offering us new experiences which can be as profound as anything in real life...

La Totale! (1991) Claude Zidi |
Netchaïev est de retour (1991) Jacques Deray |
|||
|
|
|
|||
| 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. ... [More...] | Thierry Lhermitte and Miou-Miou top the bill in this well-intended but somewhat over-the-top thriller parody from director Claude Zidi. Although there are a few very funny comic sequences... [More...] | This convoluted political thriller sees Yves Montand (in his last film appearance but one) again playing the part of a tough law enforcer up against a dangerous opponent within a corrupt political establishment...
