Tavernier The Essential Collection

Bertrand Tavernier was one of the most outstanding French film makers of his time. Born in Lyon in 1941, he began his career with a short-lived stint as an assistant to Jean-Pierre Melville - an experience and environment that affected him so deeply that he took up first film journalism then worked as a highly influential press agent for ten years before returning to filmmaking.A diverse filmmaker whose works covered a spectacular range of genres, settings and time periods, Tavernier imbued his films with intelligence and grace, but they were also often a commentary on political and social injustice and the strength of the human spirit. This essential collection includes 8 of his films, a tribute and testimony to the spectacular work of the legendary filmmaker.Extras:QUE LA FÊTE COMMENCE (1975)Analysis of the film with Guillemette OdicinoInterview with Bertrand Tavernier et Philippe NoiretInterview with Jean RochefortUNE SEMAINE DE VACANCES (1980)Analysis of the film with Guillemette OdicinoFilming the movieCOUP DE TORCHON (1981)Analysis of the film with Guillemette OdicinoUS TrailerTrailerAlternative EndingInterview with Bertrand Tavernier and Philippe NoiretInterview with Eddy MitchellL.627 (1992)Making ofDeleted ScenesLA GUERRE SANS NOM (1992)Introduction with Bertrand Tavernier and Patrick RotmanAnalysis of the film with Vincent MartignyÇA COMMENCE AUJOURD'HUI (1999)Interview with Bertrand TavernierMaking ofDeleted ScenesLAISSEZ-PASSER (2002)Making ofDeleted ScenesLA PRINCESSE DE MONTPENSIER (2010)Interview with D.
