Complete filmography

Danièle Thompson was just twenty when her father, Gérard Oury, asked her to be his screenwriting assistant. Her writing career began with "Don't Look Now - We're Being Shot At" (1966), and continued with "The Brain" (1968), "Delusions of Grandeur" (1974) and "The Mad Aventures of Rabbi Jacob" (1970). While continuing to work regularly with her father ("La Carapate," "Le Coup de parapluie," "Ace of Aces," "Levy and Goliath"), she became one of France's most sought-after screenwriters, working with directors such as Jean-Charles Tachella, "Cousin, Cousine" (1975, nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay); Claude Pinoteau, "La Boum" (1980), "La Boum 2" (1982), "L’Etudiante" (1988) and "La Neige et le Feu" (1989); Elie Chouraqui, "The Groundhogs" (1992); Patrice Chéreau, "Queen Margot" (1993) and "Those Who Love Me Will Take the Train" (1996); Alain Berbérian, "Paparazzi" (1997) and Gabriel Aghion, "Beautiful Mother" (1999). Several of these films proved to be among France's biggest hits. For a long time, Danièle Thompson had no desire to direct. Then, the idea for "La Buche" ("Season's Beatings"), her first film, came along. The film met with considerable commercial success and was nominated for several Cesar Awards in 2000, one of which - Best Supporting Actress - was awarded to Charlotte Gainsbourg. In 2003, her second feature, "Jet Lag," starring Juliette Binoche and Jean Réno, was also a major hit with audiences. In 2006, she directed a new comedy, "Fauteuils d'orchestre" (released as "Avenue Montaigne" and "Orchestra Seats").
