Directed by Bertrand Tavernier

The films of Bertrand Tavernier are suffused with his love for cinema. In addition to being one of France’s foremost auteurs, Tavernier was also a film critic and historian who drew from his deep knowledge of classic French and American cinema to create his own uniquely absorbing, finely wrought works. Though his films span a wide variety of genres—the politically charged crime thriller THE CLOCKMAKER OF ST. PAUL, the sci-fi cult classic DEATH WATCH, and the bittersweet family portrait DADDY NOSTALGIA to name just a few—each displays the exceptional craftsmanship, rigorous intelligence, and profound humanist and moral themes that made him one of the leading lights of Gallic cinema for over four decades.
