Description
French Cinema From Its Beginnings to the Present explores the history of French filmmaking from its earliest beginnings to the present day.
The film industry in France has a rich and varied past, marked by significant events such as the silent era, Surrealist influences, the Nazi Occupation, and the emergence of new generations of filmmakers. This book examines many of the world's most beloved films, including mainstream productions like The Artist and The Intouchables, and the work of minority filmmakers.
Building on its predecessor, this second edition maintains a chronological analysis, factual reliability, and accessible prose, while focusing more on contemporary female directors and the current state of the industry.
