Summary "This is the first book-length study of [Laurent] Cantet's work in English. It explores his unique working method and discusses his very particular way of constructing films at the uneasy interface of the individual, the group and the broader social context. The books shows how the roots of his well-known later films can be found in his little-studied early works, and goes on to explore all his major fictions, from Ressources humaines to Foxfire, combining careful close analysis with attention to broader cinematic, social and political contexts."--Back cover
