The traditionally American genre of the road movie has been
explored and reconfigured in the French context since the later
1960s. Comparative in its approach, this book studies the
inter-relationship between American and French culture and cinemas,
and in the process considers and challenges histories of the road
movie. It combines film history with film theory methodologies,
analyzing transformations in social, political and film-industrial
contexts alongside changing perspectives on the meaning and
possibilities of film. At once chronological and thematic in
structure, The French Road Movie provides in each chapter a
comprehensive introduction to key themes emerging from the genre in
the French context - liberty, identity and citizenship,
masculinity, femininity, border-crossing - followed by detailed,
innovative and often revisionist readings of the chosen films. The
book's overall aim, through these readings, is to justify the place
of the road genre within French cinema histories and reinvigorate
this often neglected and misunderstood area of study.
