This book is the first ever English-language study of Julien
Duvivier (1896-1967), once considered one of the world's great
filmmakers. It provides new contextual and analytical readings of
his films that identify his key themes and techniques, trace
patterns of continuity and change, and explore critical assessments
of his work over time. His career began in the silent era and ended
as the French New Wave was winding down. In between, Duvivier made
over sixty films in a long and at times difficult career. He was
adept at literary adaptation, biblical epic, and film noir, and
this groundbreaking volume illustrates in great detail Duvivier's
eclecticism, technical efficiency and visual fluency in works such
as Panique (1946) and Voici le temps des assassins (1956). It will
particularly appeal to scholars and students of French cinema
looking for examples of a director who could straddle the realms of
the popular and the auteur. -- .
