For the first time as a director Patrice Shero acted in 1964 ("Intervention" by V. Hugo). Then he became famous for his productions of Molière, Shakespeare, Marivo, Marlo. After making his debut in 1969 as an opera director, he worked for six years at the Paris National Theatre. In 1976, at the Beirut Festival, Shero staged Richard Wagner's Nibelungs. Among his other famous productions - "Hamlet", "Lulu", "Wojcek". Patrice Shero made his film debut as a director in 1974 with The Flesh of the Orchid, based on the novel by J.H. Chase. The main role in it was played by Charlotte Rampling. After reproaching the excessive theatricality of decadent aesthetics, he shot the realistic film Judith Terpov (1978) with Simone Signoret in the title role. Since Shero repeatedly appeared in his productions as an actor, it is not surprising that his acting talent was in demand in the cinema. In 1982, in the picture of Andrzej Wajda “Danton”, he played Camil Demoulin, and in 1985 he embodied the image of Napoleon on the screen – in the film by Youssef Shahin “Farewell, Bonaparte”. In between these two acting jobs, Patrice Shero directed the film Wounded, in which young Jean-South Anglad flashed. For the original script of this tape, Shero was awarded the Cesar Award. In 1987, with the students of his school at the theater "Amandieu" in Nanterre was filmed the film "Hotel France" - the basis of the film was the play by A. P. Chekhov "Fatherless", and among the performers were future "stars" - Vincent Perez and Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi. His ambitious and ambitious adaptation of Queen Margot (1994) made a lot of noise. In 2001, Patrice Shero’s new film “Intim” was released, which gained a huge success at the Berlin Festival – it received the Golden Bear, Silver Bear and Blue Angel awards. In 2002, Patrice Shero starred in Tony Marshall's lyrical comedy Near Paradise, where his partner was Catherine Deneuve.
