| Summary |
Studies in French Cinema looks at the development of French screen studies in the United Kingdom over the past twenty years and the ways in which innovative scholarship in the UK has helped shape the field in English and French speaking universities. This important text is also a tribute to six key figures within the field who have been leaders in research and teaching of French cinema: Jill Forbes. Susan Hayward, Phil Powrie, Keith Reader, Carrie Tarr and Ginette Vincendeau. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the celebrated Intellect journal of the same title and covering a wide range of key films - contemporary and historical, popular and auteur - the volume provides an invaluable overview of the state of French cinema and French film studies at the beginning of the twenty-first century. --Book Jacket |
