Luc Besson Scripts

Luc Besson is a French screenwriter/director that has marvelled American audiences in a way that no foreign director has done before. With his mastery of storytelling in addition to his beautiful way of imaging a scene, he has created cult classics and big budget masterpieces that continue to entertain the American public far into the new millennium.

The interesting thing about Besson is the fact that the writes both French and English speaking scripts despite the fact that he has had momentous success in the American film industry. Some of his most popular French films include Taxi (1998) and the cult classic La Femme Nikita (1990).
Please forgive the fact that not all scripts are listed below. Since some of them are French films, they are more difficult to find for a person who is not familiar with the Francophone world.
