The Essential Tavernier Collection (9-Disc Blu-ray Box Set)

8 key films by the great French filmmaker

Bertrand Tavernier was one of the most outstanding French film makers of his generation. 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.
