Samenvatting

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.
