Home›World and International Narrative Cinema›European Cinema›French CinemaGroupFrench CinemaThis child group of European Cinema collects that broader group's members whose primary country of origin is France, spanning the French New Wave directors Godard, Truffaut and Chabrol, French poetic realism, and contemporary French auteur and popular cinema including musicals, dramas and satire. At 53 members it is this parent group's largest single-country child, kept apart from this parent group's other clusters by France being the clearly primary listed country of origin rather than a co-production partner.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1895 1Browse ByAll French CinemaFrench Cinema53 entriesFrench CinemaFilter Results53 entriesMediumAllFilm (53)Release YearAll1937 (1)1939 (1)1948 (1)1950 (1)1951 (1)1953 (1)1955 (1)1956 (1)1957 (1)1959 (2)1960 (1)1962 (2)1964 (1)1965 (1)1966 (2)1967 (2)1970 (1)1972 (1)1973 (1)1975 (1)1979 (1)1983 (1)1985 (1)1986 (1)1987 (2)1993 (1)1994 (1)1995 (2)1998 (1)1999 (1)2000 (1)2001 (2)2002 (1)2008 (1)2011 (1)2012 (1)2013 (2)2014 (1)2017 (1)2018 (1)2021 (2)2022 (1)2023 (1)2024 (1)CountryAllAlgeria (1)Austria (1)Belgium (4)Denmark (4)France (50)Germany (13)Hungary (1)Italy (12)Norway (2)Poland (5)Spain (2)Sweden (4)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (6)United States (1)Yugoslavia (2)Original LanguageAllArabic (1)English (7)French (38)German (7)Italian (5)Norwegian (1)Polish (2)Serbian (1)Spanish (1)Swedish (2)CreatorAllAbdellatif Kechiche (1)Agnès Varda (1)André Cayatte (1)Bernardo Bertolucci (1)Bertrand Tavernier (1)Chantal Akerman (1)Claire Denis (1)Claude Chabrol (1)Claude Lelouch (1)Dag Johan Haugerud (1)Emir Kusturica (1)Federico Fellini (2)Francois Truffaut (2)Gianni Amelio (1)Gillo Pontecorvo (1)Henri-Georges Clouzot (2)Jacques Demy (1)Jacques Tati (1)Jean Renoir (2)Jean-Luc Godard (4)Jean-Paul Le Chanois (1)Jean-Pierre Jeunet (1)Julia Ducournau (1)Justine Triet (1)Krzysztof Kieślowski (2)Lars von Trier (1)Laurent Cantet (1)Louis Malle (1)Luis Buñuel (2)Maurice Pialat (1)Michael Haneke (1)Michel Hazanavicius (1)Patrice Chéreau (1)Paweł Pawlikowski (2)Robert Bresson (1)Roberto Rossellini (1)Roman Polanski (1)Roy Andersson (1)Ruben Östlund (2)Volker Schlöndorff (1)Éric Rohmer (1)AwardAllAcademy Award for Best Costume Design (1)Academy Award for Best International Feature Film (7)Academy Award for Best Original Score (1)Academy Award for Best Picture (1)BAFTA Award for Best Film (2)BIFA for Best Foreign Independent Film (1)Bodil Award for Best Non-American Film (2)Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film (1)Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Young Performer (1)Chlotrudis Award for Best Cinematography (1)César Award for Best Cinematography (1)César Award for Best Female Revelation (1)César Award for Best Film (5)Dorian Award for LGBTQ Film of the Year (1)Etoile de Cristal (1)European Film Award for Best Actor (1)European Film Award for Best Comedy (1)European Film Award for Best Director (1)European Film Award for Best Film (4)European Film Award for Best Hair and Makeup Artist (1)European Film Award for Best Screenwriter (2)European University Film Award (1)FIPRESCI Prize of the Festival de Cannes (1)French Syndicate of Cinema Critics Awards (1)Gaudí Award for Best European Film (1)Golden Bear (5)Golden Globe Award for Best English-Language Foreign Film (1)Golden Leopard (1)Golden Lion (8)Grand Jury Prize of the Venice Film Festival (1)Grolla d'oro for Best Leading Actress (1)Guldbagge Award for Best Film (1)Guldbagge Award for Best Foreign Film (2)Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film (6)Louis Delluc Prize (5)Lumière Award for Best Actress (1)Lumière Award for Best Female Revelation (1)Meeting Point Europe Award (1)National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography (1)National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Film (1)National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Foreign Language Film (1)Palme d'Or (9)Prix Jean Vigo (1)Robert Award for Best English Language Film (1)Silver Bear for Best Director (1)CollectionAllEuropean Cinema (53)French Cinema (53)GroupAllFrench Cinema (53)AuthorAllGeorges Bernanos (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3VagabondWorld and International Narrative Cinema2 linksVivre sa VieWorld and International Narrative Cinema2 linksWithout Leaving an AddressWorld and International Narrative Cinema2 linksShowing 51 to 53 of 53, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
