From the Cannes film festiveal and Brigitte Bardot to virtual film
stars and Virginie Ledoyen, French film stars embody glamour,
sexiness and controversy. This book analyses the essential French
stars of the last 50 years, paying detailed attention to screen
performance, representation in the popular press and the social and
political contexts in which they functioned. Myth, glamour, gender
and ethnicity and popular genres are some of the areas of debate in
this study. The stars are also compared with their Hollywood
counterparts: the book asks whether they are products of the same
"star system" or whether they spring from a social and artistic
process particular to France. As well as exploring the making of
famous names like Catherine deeuve and Gerard Depardieu, this book
also charts more neglected or controversial figures, such as
Patrick Dewaere and Sylvia Kristel.
