This book provides a scholarly yet accessible account of the work
of Marcel Carne, one of the great directors of classical French
cinema and the key figure behind the poetic realist film movement
of the 1930s. His films, a number of which were made in
collaboration with the poet-turned-scriptwriter Jacques Prevert,
include such well-known works as Le Quai des brumes, Le Jour se
leve and Les Enfants du paradis. As the first book to be written on
Carne for a number of years, it offers a fresh perspective on his
cinema, particularly through a re-examination of his post-war work
- although many of these films were very popular and offer a
fascinating insight into France at the time, they have, until now,
largely been neglected. Adopting a carefully crafted aesthetic, his
films explore a tension between pessimism and entrapment on the one
hand, and transcendence, idealised romantic love and a populist
celebration of working-class life on the other. His career
traversed key moments in French cinema, including poetic realism,
the tradition of quality and the French New Wave, and spanned
important historical moments such as the Popular Front of the
1930s, the Second World War and France's post-war modernisation.
This book will be of interest to scholars, students and film-lovers
alike. -- .
