Few directors have played such a prominent role as Francis Veber in
shaping the cinematic identity of France over the past forty years,
yet in many ways his chosen genre of comedy has relegated his work
to the margins of Film Studies. Using an auterist lens to challenge
the notions of taste, genre and aesthetics that are commonly used
to form the cinematic canon, this book explores the twelve films
Veber directed between 1976 and 2008. These include Le Jouet
(1976), Les fugitifs (1986) and L'emmerdeur (2008). Considering
also Veber's extensive work as a playwright, theatre director and
screenwriter - as well as the numerous remakes and adaptations of
his films in Hollywood - author Keith Corson focuses on issues of
class, labour and politics to examine the ways in which Veber
embeds serious social critiques in his mainstream films.
