This clearly-written and lively introduction analyses 25 years of
popular French film including recent developments in all genres.
Reflecting French cinema's diversity since the New Wave, chapters
include the Heritage Film; Thrillers; War Movies; Cinema-du-Look;
representations of sexuality; women film-makers; and much more.
Each chapter introduces the public reception and critical debates
surrounding a given genre, interwoven with detailed accounts of
individual films from" Les Valseuses" to "Les Visiteurs" and
"Delicatessen." Those looking at French film for the first time
will have the opportunity to read at length about the
internationally renowned work of Cinema-du-Look directors Luc
Besson, Jean-Jacques Beineix and Leos Carax, as well as the recent
blockbusters of the Heritage genre from "Cyrano de Bergerac "and"
Jean de Florette" to "Germinal "and" La Reine Margot." There is
also a useful glossary and detailed filmography.
