He studied philosophy, was attracted by the Nouvelle Vague and started in the film business as Claude Chabrol's assistant in 1962

Leroi studied at the Henri-IV high school in Paris and, at that time, made his first films shot in 8 mm, notably an adaptation of Le Grand Meaulnes. He then completed his philosophy degree and wrote a thesis on Sade which was refused by the Sorbonne.

From 1964 to 1965, he wrote a theater column in the newspaper Combat.

In 1965, he staged one of his plays, Les Minets Chéris, in a Parisian café theater, which in 1966 became his first feature film, the psychedelic Pop Game, in which he mixed political denunciations and erotic scenes.

Leroi launched into genre cinema with films such as La Michetonneuse in 1970, co-written with the radio journalist (Europe n°1) François Jouffa, or Les Temptations de Marianne in 1972, co-written with Patrick Rambaud.
