With a career spanning over thirty years, Louis Malle was one of the giants of French cinema. After he burst onto the scene as one of the pioneers of the French New Wave with “Lift To The Scaffold”, Malle quickly achieved a reputation as a great director who was unafraid to embrace a wide array of subjects – many famously controversial. Working both in Hollywood and his native France, Malle imprinted his films with subtlety, intelligence and a sharp eye for the mores of human behaviour that set him apart from his contemporaries.
This collection brings together some gems from Malle’s later career, including "Le Souffle au Coeur", "Lacombe Lucien", "Black Moon", "Au Revoir les Enfants" and "Milou en Mai"
