An in-depth look at some of the best and most influential French films of all time, The Cinema of France contains 24 essays, each on an individual film.

Set in chronological order, The Cinema of France provides an illuminating history of this essential national cinema and includes in-depth studies of films such as Un Chien Andalou (1929), Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (1953), Le Samouraï (1967), Shoah (1985), Jean de Florette (1986), Les Visiteurs (1993) and La Haine (1995).

A generation of film goers was brought up on the nouvelle vague, admiring the works of Godard and Truffaut, Chabrol, Rohmer and Resnais. These film makers are household names to film lovers, but who are their successors? This major study of the contemporary French cinema demonstrates the richness and variety of French art film. It discusses the works of eleven important film makers, many of whom, like Luc Moullet, Philippe Garrel or Andre Techine, will be virtually unknown to non-French viewers. It also looks at the genres in which French art cinema primarily functions - the thriller, comedy, political and documentary cinema, the history film and women's cinema. The study shows how cinema has played a vital role in the social and cultural debates that have taken place in France since 1968: What has become of the working class? What is wrong with the family? How are women oppressed? What is meant by popular culture? Can the mass media be trusted? Is American cultural domination inevitable? The question of representation is of vital concern in our image-dominated societies. This book demonstrates that French film makers have made a tremendous contribution to changing our ways of seeing and our perception of reality, and that their work is central to maintaining an independent audio-visual culture in Europe.

Offering portraits of such key figures as the Lumière brothers, Georges Méliès, Charles Pathé and Léon Gaumont, he looks at the early pioneers who transformed a fairground novelty into a global industry. The crisis caused by the First World War led France to surrender her position as the world's dominant film-making power, but French cinema forged a new role for itself as a beacon of cinematic possibility and achievement. Producing such distinctive film-makers as Jean Renoir, Marcel Pagnol, Sachy Guitry and Julien Duvivier, the French cinema's Golden Age boasted an intelligence, maturity and flair that classical Hollywood could admire but struggle to emulate. Suggesting a Gallic attitude that has always considered the cinema to be as much a cause as a business, Drazin looks at the extraordinary resilience of the French film industry during the Second World War when, in spite of the national catastrophe of defeat and occupation, it was still able to produce such classics as Le Corbeau and Les Enfants du Paradis. Finally, he traces its remarkable post-war regeneration. He looks at the seminal impact of the New Wave of film-makers - typified by Truffaut and Godard - but also at the other waves that have followed since. As he brings the story up-to-date - with Jacques Audaird's award-winning A Prophet - he seeks to capture the essence of the French film tradition and why it continues to matter to anyone who cares about the cinema.

It is often taken for granted that French cinema is intimately connected to the nation's sense of identity and self-confidence. But what do we really know about that relationship? What are the nuances, insider codes, and hidden history of the alignment between cinema and nationalism? Hugo Frey suggests that the concepts of the 'political myth' and 'the film event' are the essential theoretical reference points for unlocking film history. Nationalism and the Cinema in France offers new arguments regarding those connections in the French case, examining national elitism, neo-colonialism, and other exclusionary discourses, as well as discussing for the first time the subculture of cinema around the extreme right Front National. Key works from directors such as Michel Audiard, Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, Marcel Pagnol, Jean Renoir, Jacques Tati, François Truffaut, and others provide a rich body of evidence.
