'Georges Franju' is the fullest study to date of this little-known
French director, the co-founder of the Cinematheque francaise, and
the first book on him in English since 1967. Born in 1912, but only
enjoying his real debut as a director in 1948 with his notorious
documentary about Parisian abattoirs 'Le Sang des betes', Franju
went on to make thirteen more courts metrages and eight longs
metrages, including his horror classic 'Les Yeux sans visage'. Ince
takes a new approach to Franju's films, investigating the areas of
genre and gender, and grouping the films thematically rather than
chronologically. A chapter on Franju's cinematic aesthetics offers
a new synthesis of existing writings, combined with the author's
responses to the films. A full introduction and conclusion set
Franju's directorial career in the context of his lifelong
commitment to France's cinema institutions. 'Georges Franju' will
be essential reading on Franju, and of great interest to
researchers, academics and students in film studies -- .
