Product Description

This excellent book analyzes key French films in their cultural context and explores their relation to literary texts and popular ideas of national history.


From the Back Cover

This innovative book provides detailed analyses of twenty-two key films within the canon of French cinema, from the 1930s to the 1990s. Films discussed include masterpieces such as Renoirs Le Crime de Monsieur Lange and La Bête humaine, and Carnés Les Enfants du paradis; popular classics such as Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot and Coup de foudre; landmarks of the New Wave such as Les 400 coups and A bout de souffle; and important contemporary films such as Cyrano de Bergerac, Nikita and La Haine.
French Film: Texts and Contexts brings together leading scholars to discuss these films in relation to such issues as the history of French cinema, the social and cultural contexts of the films' production and reception, the relationship with Hollywood, gender politics, authorship, and genre.
This revised and updated second edition includes:
Coverage of the major periods, filmmakers and genres in French sound cinema;
New articles on key films of the 1990s;
A guide to further reading and a filmograp
