Directed by Philippe de Broca, Cartouche is a vibrant and high-spirited adventure film that stands as a landmark of 1960s French cinema.
Starring the legendary Jean-Paul Belmondo in the title role, the film tells the semi-legendary story of Louis-Dominique Bourguignon, a charming 18th-century highwayman who robs from the rich with a unique blend of wit, acrobatics, and gallantry. Alongside the radiant Claudia Cardinale, who plays his fierce and loyal lover Vénus, Belmondo delivers a performance full of infectious energy and physical bravado.
The film beautifully balances slapstick humor with poignant drama, all set against a lush, colorful backdrop of pre-revolutionary France. Beyond the thrills and swordfights, Cartouche is celebrated for its romantic spirit and Georges Delerue’s iconic musical score, making it a timeless tribute to the hero who lived by his own rules and loved with all his heart.
