Bertrand Tavernier is widely recognized as the leading French
filmmaker of his generation. Both a consummate artist and a
controversial public figure, he is a passionate advocate for social
causes and also a tireless defender of world cinema in general and
the French cinematic heritage in particular. Lynn Higgins' book
offers a guided tour through Tavernier's oeuvre, taking into
account both its prodigious diversity and its unifying themes. It
explores his use of genre and adaptation, his work with actors and
his affection for characters, his treatment of France's colonial
history, his explorations of the powers of art and the complexities
of intergenerational relations, both among fictional characters and
within French cinema history. This is the most comprehensive and
up-to-date scholarly book about Tavernier. Original and lively,
sophisticated and engaging, the book will appeal to anyone
interested in film studies, gender studies, and French cultural
studies including academics, students, cinema enthusiasts, and
Tavernier fans. -- .
