Description
André Téchiné: A Study in Contemporary French Cinema This monograph is the first full-length study in English of one of France's most important contemporary filmmakers. André Téchiné's sixteen feature films are notable for their subtle exploration of sexuality and national identity, challenging expectations in depictions of gay relations and the North African dimensions of contemporary French culture. Téchiné's work is situated within historical and cultural contexts such as the Algerian war, May 1968, and contemporary globalization. The book examines the influence of key thinkers like Roland Barthes, Bertolt Brecht, Ingmar Bergman, and William Faulkner on Téchiné's cinematic style. This study will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates working on French cinema, undergraduates studying Téchiné on their film courses, and those with a general interest in cinema, contemporary France, and lesbian and gay issues.
