Jean Vigo, Truffaut, Jean Renoir; Jean-Jacques Annaud, Jean Cocteau...
Carl Dreyer's Jean D'arc [altough the filmmaker is danish he was long established in France]
I really love 'La Belle et la Bete' by Jean Cocteau:

IRREVERSABLE warning: the images are seriously warped/intense, VERY tough to watch in mixed company

i don;'t get the modern "shock value" french cinema. these cats used to tell interesting stories with interesting technique. a word to the US and French filmmakers: less is more...
always.

don't do it.
Gaspar Noé is a fuckin' wanker.
all shock, no meaning.
Go see "La Mala Educación" by Almodovar instead.
