Through an analysis of films as diverse as "Jean de Florette, Ma
Vie en rose, " and "Nikita, " this collection of new essays is a
comprehensive introduction to the concerns and styles that
characterize contemporary popular French film. Set within an
economic, political, and social context, "France on Film"
reconsiders the direction French cinema is taking today, bringing
into focus critical questions concerning wide-ranging notions of
French culture, identity, and nationhood. Examining questions of
popular cinema as opposed to art cinema, this book also seeks to
(re)present films that have been widely popular in France and
internationally and to thus challenge the traditional art-house
view of contemporary French cinema. It also includes a
comprehensive filmography and statistics detailing the current
state of the French film industry.
