1. Loin du Périph
Year:2022 Country:France Director: Louis Leterrier This movie follows two cops who couldn’t be more different, who have to work together again years after their partnership ended. A dead body draws the two into a series of adventures that put them in the middle of drug trafficking rings and white supremacists. Expect a lot of raunchy jokes, satire, silly action and antics.

Year: 2022 Country:France Director:Jean-Pierre Jeunet This movie takes place in 2045, when AI and robots are integral to managing every home. When an android rebellion threatens the world, the robots in Alice’s home prioritize her safety over everything, even if it means locking her and her guests inside her house.

3. 8 Rue de l’Humanité
Year:2021 Country:France Director:Dany Boon This movie breathes much-needed humanity and humor into the coronavirus situation.

We get an inside look into an apartment building in Paris, following seven points of view as they try to make sense of the difficult situation. From the Covid denier to the mad scientist trying to concoct his own vaccine, can this odd cast of charac...
10. Sans répit
Year:2022 Country:France Director:Régis Blondeau A cop isn’t walking on the right side of the law, as he’s willing to overlook certain offenses for the right price. His corruption is even clearer when he accidentally hits a man—a key figure in an ongoing investigation—with his car and covers up the accident. To make things even worse, there seems to have been a witness who continues to call and threaten him.
11. Balle perdue
Year:2020 Country:France Director:Guillaume Pierret Ex-mechanic Lino is on a relentless crusade to clear his name of a murder charge after being framed. A single bullet is the key piece of evidence to clearing his name, but he must first set out to find it. With impressive driving, fight scenes and real stunts, this movie is perhaps not what comes to mind when you hear French cinema. Even though this film wavers from traditional French style, it will undoubtedly impress you.

A cult classic in Canada, this movie plays to all of the action stereoty...
13. ADN
Year:2020 Country:France Director:Maïwenn How much does family mean to you? This is a question that Neige struggles to answer.

24. Oxygène
Year:2021 Country:France Director:Alexandre Aja A woman wakes up in a cryogenic chamber without any memories. With only 90 minutes to live, she must employ her limited resources (an AI named MILO) to recall who she is and find a way to get out before she runs out of oxygen.

25. La femme la plus assassinée du monde
Year:2018 Country:Belgium Director:Franck Ribière Paula Maxa is known for over 10,000 theater death scenes. Throughout the film, she draws startling comparisons between her stage life and real life as a deadly stalker emerges from the darkness.

Eerily similar murders to her own work are discovered throughout the city of love, and she realizes that...
26. Les Affamés
Year:2017 Country:Quebec, Canada Director:Robin Aubert In a small village in Quebec, the population has been decimated by a sickness that has turned the townspeople into zombies. A group of survivors scattered about the carnage band together, led by a geek named Bolin, to attempt an escape to the city for help.

- “Li’L Quinquin” (2014) Bruno Dumont is one of the most audacious, provocative filmmakers working in France today, but nothing he’s done has distilled the scope of his work more than this three-plus hour miniseries, which premiered as a feature-length production at Cannes and screened that way in the U.S. And indeed, it is a complete work of pure vision: a comedic tale of bumbling police investigators in a small town and the various rural characters they encounter along the way.
- “Swimming Pool” (2003) Francois Ozon’s sultry noir is rich with atmosphere and ambiguity. The story of British novelist Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) who ventures to the countryside to overcome her writer’s block, “Swimming Pool” seems pretty straightforward…at first.
- “Of Gods and Men” (2010) From its early scenes, “Of Gods and Men” inhabits the sacred lives of its monastic subjects. The eight monks residing in a seemingly quaint North African mountain community go through the motions of their daily prayers, the ritualistic hymns echoing monotonously throughout their hallowed chambers.
- “The Man on the Train” (2002) From 1989 to 2002, Patrice Leconte was one of the most electric and beguiling (and under-appreciated) filmmakers in the world.
