It is often taken for granted that French cinema is intimately
connected to the nation's sense of identity and self-confidence.
But what do we really know about that relationship? What are the
nuances, insider codes, and hidden history of the alignment between
cinema and nationalism? Hugo Frey suggests that the concepts of the
'political myth' and 'the film event' are the essential theoretical
reference points for unlocking film history. Nationalism and the
Cinema in France offers new arguments regarding those connections
in the French case, examining national elitism, neo-colonialism,
and other exclusionary discourses, as well as discussing for the
first time the subculture of cinema around the extreme right Front
National. Key works from directors such as Michel Audiard, Jean-Luc
Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Marcel Pagnol, Jean Renoir, Jacques
Tati, Francois Truffaut, and others provide a rich body of
evidence.
