A beautifully written and deeply sensitive biography of Alice Guy Blache, now regarded as the mother of cinema, and Gustave Eiffel, two compelling figures in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.During a time when business was dominated by men, Alice Guy Blaché wrote and directed hundreds of films in Paris for the Gaumont film company, and then continued her career as the first female film director in New York and Fort Lee, New Jersey before the film industry moved to Hollywood. Gustave Eiffel, whose name is synonymous with his famous tower, advanced both the business and technology of motion pictures. He was a founding partner of Gaumont and president of the company from its inception in 1895 until 1907 when Alice left for the United States.Using clear, flowing language and a wealth of historically accurate detail, Janelle Dietrick draws on memoirs, autobiographical texts, correspondence, and interviews to create an intimate portrait of these two remarkable people. The result is a unique love story in another time and place--Alice and Eiffel in the context of Belle Époque Paris where they shared a glittering social life, family ties, work, and a deep bond. This double biography will be of great interest to those specializing in early cinema and anyone interested in the enigmas that are Alice Guy Blaché and Gustave Eiffel.

This is the story of Alice Guy Blaché, the world's first female film director, and Gustave Eiffel. Alice told her own story in her memoirs published in 1976, alluding to her great love under a veil of camouflage. This book is about what her memoirs leave out, revisionist history at its best. This unique double biography is set in Paris, Switzerland, Valparaiso, San Francisco, New York, and Hollywood. Meticulously researched and documented by historian Janelle Dietrick, this book retells the earliest years of cinema in Paris and the United States and the exquisite love story kept secret for a hundred years.

He was a friend of Alice's father who died when she was seventeen, and the story she tells of falling in love with him is funny and emotionally intimate. Alice and Eiffel forge an enduring romantic and intellectual bond. But while she wants to marry him, he refuses because he is so much older than she is. Out of herdesire to have a family, she marries a handsome Englishman and travels to the United States, where she works with D. W. Griffith and then opens her own film studio. Some of her emotional experiences find expression in the scenarios she writes for film. Her relationship with Monsieur Eiffel continues on in her mind and leads to some surprising developments. Mademoiselle Alice tells us much about women's lives during the silent film era in France and the United States. Combining a biographer's knowledge of her subject with the novelist's gift for narrative, Janelle Dietrick has crafted a novel that will capture the interest of every reader.

Catel y Bocquet firman la biografía gráfica de una mujer excepcional que merece ser celebrada y reconocida: Alice Guy fue la primera directora de cine, y su vida y obra son primordiales para entender el nacimiento del séptimo arte . Mujer libre e independiente, Alice Guy fue testigo y pieza clave en el nacimiento del séptimo arte, y se codeó con nombres tan reconocidos como Gustave Eiffel, Louis y Auguste Lumière, Georges Méliès, Charlie Chaplin y Buster Keaton. Distinguida con la Legión de Honor, pero sin poseer ninguna de sus creaciones, falleció en 1969, perdida y olvidada. Catel y Bocquet contribuyen con Alice Guy a la recuperación histórica de su figura, y vuelven a poner su arte y su sensibilidad al servicio del feminismo, para rescatar este nombre borrado de uno de los capítulos más importantes del mundo moderno. «El primer niño que tuvo la idea de colocar sus manitas frente a una fuente de luz, moviendo los dedos para ver su sombra desproporcionadamente grande bailando en la pared, inventó el cinematógrafo». Alice Guy La crítica ha dicho: «El trabajo de documentación siempre es impresionante y la línea de Catel siempre precisa. Era necesario recuperar a esta artista». Lire Magazin «Un esfuerzo formidable sobre una gran creadora, que refleja escrupulosamente tanto los inicios del cine como los de Alice Guy». Le Monde «Después de más de cien años casi en el olvido, Alice Guy por fin es el centro de atención: gracias a esta novela gráfica, el gran público descubrirá a la primera directora de cine». Libération «La biografía de una mujer apasionante y apasionada, curiosa y decidida. Catel y Bocquet iluminan de manera sensible e hiperdocumentada, sin perderse nunca en los detalles, [...] la dificultad de ser una mujer apartada en un mundo casi exclusivamente masculino». Libération
