DESCRIPTION:
To a great extent, the story of French
filmmaking is the story of moviemaking. From the earliest flickering images of
the late nineteenth century as well as the many important technical innovations
- which in France sometimes preceded, and often paralleled, the work of Edison
and early British, German, and Russian inventors and artists - through the
silent era, the Surrealist influence, the Nazi Occupation, the glories of the
New Wave, on into the 1990s and beyond, Remi Lanzoni examines a large number of
the world's most beloved films against the backdrop of their often turbulent
times.
