This work looks at classic French films, from the 1930s to the
1990s, providing detailed analyses of 22 major landmarks in French
cinema. Embracing classic thrillers such as Renoir's "Le Crime de
Monsieur Lange", popular comedies like "Les Vacances de Monsieur
Hulot" , or New Wave masterpieces like Godard's "A Bout de
Souffle", contributors employ a variety of methods of textual
analysis to investigate the different ways in which these and other
films textually inscribe and rework a variety of other cultural and
historical texts. Approaching from a variety of disciplines -
history, literary studies, semiotics, psychoanalysis - contributors
examine films within the context of French film and literature,
Hollywood, and the profound changes in French society taking place
through the twentieth century. This revised second edition
includes: new studies of controversial classics such as Jean-Pierre
Melville's "Le Samourai" and Betrand Blier's "Les Valseuses";
articles on acclaimed 90s films "Nikita", "Cyrano de Bergerac", and
"La Haine"; and a fully revised introduction and bibliography.
