This book fundamentally re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It
focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for
film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and
ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May
1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across
the spectrum of French production. Using examples from a wide
variety of films - political thrillers, period features, new
naturalism, utopian fantasies - she investigates both the rise of
the new genres and the re-formulation of the old. A particular
concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions
are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the
gradual change in these ideas as the decade progressed. The final
chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply
involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and
Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing
debates as their echoes reached the cinema.
