Love stories have always been at the heart of French cinema, but
romantic comedies have, until recently, been absent from it. In
2001, the global success of Amelie catalysed a major development in
the Western world's second-largest film industry: the appropriation
of the 'Hollywood' romantic comedy genre (or Rom-Com a
l'Americaine). In From France with Love, Mary Harrod explores this
contemporary phenomenon, examining both local hits and films with
international status. Using socio-cultural data, box-office figures
and analysis of critical reception, she reveals the ways in which
these films mirror shifting attitudes towards gender roles within
French society, as well as the increasingly important interrelation
between French national cinema and transnational filmmaking
paradigms.
