Complete filmography

Philippe de Broca graduated as cinematographer from the Ecole Louis Lumière Film School in Paris, and joined the army's film department, where he remained for three years due to the war at the time. After making a short film about an expedition into the Sahara desert, Berliet, shot on 16mm, he worked as a trainee on films by Henri Decoin, as assistant to Claude Chabrol, Pierre Schoendoerffer, and then to François Truffaut on The 400 Blows. He made his feature film debut in 1959 with The Games of Love (aka The Love Game), with financial backing from Claude Chabrol, a screenplay by Daniel Boulanger and featuring Jean-Pierre Cassel. He went on to make over thirty films, with a close circle of loyal friends and contacts including Jean-Paul Rappeneau (That Man from Rio, Practice Makes Perfect – aka The Skirt Chaser, The Devil by the Tail, The Magnificent One, Dear Inspector), Daniel Boulanger (Swords of Blood, That Man from Rio, The Games of Love), Claude Sautet (The Devil by the Tail), Michel Audiard (Practice Makes Perfect, The Incorrigible, Dear Inspector), Francis Veber (The Joker, Male Companion, The Magnificent One), as well as Jean-Pierre Cassel, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Rochefort and Philippe Noiret. For his 1997 version of Le Bossu (On Guard), Philippe de Broca loosely adapted the novel by Paul Féval, while remaining faithful to the historical setting of sophisticated 17th century France.
His new film, Amazone, with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Arielle Dombasle, is slated for French release on July 19, 2000.
Philippe de Broca died on Friday, November 26th, 2004 in the age of 71 years.
