Publisher Description:
Unraveling French Cinema provides a much needed introduction to the complexities of French film for students, cineastes, and the movie-loving public.
  • Looks at the differences between French and American national cinema
  • Explores how French directors shape their films around two potentially divergent goals: the narration of a story and an elaboration of some theory about film itself.
  • Demystifies the difficulty of French cinema, allowing the American movie-goer to enjoy films that are too often perplexing at a first viewing.
  • Offers extended analyses of classic, New Wave, and contemporary French films--including L'Atalante, Adele H., The Rules of the Game, and Cache.
