Download or read book Contemporary French Cinema written by Alan J. Singerman and published by Focus. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like its French-language companion volume Le Cinéma français contemporain: Manuel de classe, Alan Singerman and Michèle Bissière's Contemporary French Cinema: A Student's Book offers a detailed look at recent French cinema through its analyses of twenty notable and representative French films that have appeared since 1980. Sure to delight Anglophone fans of French film, it can be used with equal success in English-language courses and, when paired with its companion volume, dual-language ones. Acclaim for Le Cinéma français contemporain: Manuel de classe "From Le Dernier Métro to Intouchables, Bissière and Singerman cover the latest trends of French cinema, emphasizing context and analytical method as Singerman did in Apprentissage du cinéma français (Focus 2004). The authors offer a selection of films most French cinephiles will applaud, and they incorporate insights from some of the best critical work on French cinema. Students of French film will also find all the bibliographical pointers they need to dig deeper, and instructors will appreciate the pedagogical components included in the chapters." --Jonathan Walsh, Department of French Studies, Wheaton College, Massachusetts "This remarkable book comes to us from two seasoned teachers and critics and beautifully complements an earlier work, Alan Singerman's Apprentissage du cinéma français. The time period covered, more targeted here than in the preceding text, is admirably well chosen, and the breakdown by broad category, each offering multiple options, guides the teacher while offering a choice among an abundance of interesting films. The preliminary chapters, both succinct and informative, give students an excellent overview of French cinema as a whole and of the technical knowledge needed for film analysis. Each of the subsequent chapters offers an indispensable introduction discussing the plot, director, production, actors, reception, and context of the film in question and also provides a very useful filmography and bibliography... an exemplary work." --Brigitte E. Humbert, Department of French and Francophone Studies, Middlebury College

Download or read book Le cin ma en France written by Fabrice Montebello and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2005-01-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici enfin une histoire du cinéma en France, et non du cinéma français. Tout autre chose donc qu'une chronologie commentée de films panthéonisés ou qu'un récit fleuri de la geste cinématographique nationale. Il s'agit d'une analyse globale de l'activité cinématographique en France et de son évolution, de 1929 à nos jours. Films nationaux et étrangers qui ont formé la mémoire cinématographique des Français, institutions diverses qui ont permis et orienté la transmission, intervenants en tout genre, du simple cinéphile à l'exploitant - en passant par les producteurs, les réalisateurs et les comédiens -, instruments de mesure de la qualité cinématographique, rien n'échappe à cette synthèse au sein de laquelle deux temps forts sont privilégiés : la transformation du cinéma en industrie culturelle au début des années 1930, et son expansion considérable à partir des années 1960 via la domestication du spectacle cinématographique et de sa reproductibilité technique (télévision, VHS, DVD). Un fil rouge court au long de cette histoire, la demande croissante de films de qualité. Et ce jusqu'au plus contemporain, contrairement à ce que laisse entendre le catastrophisme ambiant. Écrit dans un style alerte, fourmillant d'informations et toujours réfléchi, ce livre offre aux étudiants et aux passionnés un outil de savoir sans équivalent pour connaître et comprendre les faiblesses et les atouts du cinéma national. Fabrice Montebello est maître de conférences à l'université de Metz où il enseigne le cinéma. L'expansion du marché des films (1929-1965). La naissance d'une industrie culturelle 1929-1940. Le triomphe du cinéma 1940-1958. L'ancien et le nouveau. Le redéploiement du marché des films (1966-1985). Les nouveaux standards de la qualité cinématographique. Le marché des films en salle. L'expansion de la culture cinématographique. La prolifération des films (1986-2004). La domestication du spectacle cinématographique. Conclusion : Il était un fois le cinéma.

Book excerpt: Here is the definitive story of one of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time, an intensely private individual who cultivated the public image of a man consumed by his craft. But as this absorbing biography shows, Truffaut's personal story—from which he drew extensively to create the characters and plots of his films—is itself an extraordinary human drama.

Download or read book French Film Theory and Criticism written by Richard Abel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes examine a significant but previously neglected moment in French cultural history: the emergence of French film theory and criticism before the essays of Andr Bazin. Richard Abel has devised an organizational scheme of six nearly symmetrical periods that serve to "bite into" the discursive flow of early French writing on the cinema. Each of the periods is discussed in a separate and extensive historical introduction, with convincing explications of the various concepts current at the time. In each instance, Abel goes on to provide a complementary anthology of selected texts in translation. Amounting to a portable archive, these anthologies make available a rich selection of nearly one hundred and fifty important texts, most of them never before published in English.

Download or read book French Cinema in the 1970s written by Alison Smith and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the debates which shook French cinema in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines these effects across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which filmmakers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade.

Download or read book The A to Z of French Cinema written by Dayna Oscherwitz and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can be argued that cinema was created in France by Louis Lumi_re in 1895 with the invention of the cinZmatographe, the first true motion-picture camera and projector. While there were other cameras and devices invented earlier that were capable of projecting intermittent motion of images, the cinZmatographe was the first device capable of recording and externally projecting images in such a way as to convey motion. Early films such as Lumi_re's La Sortie de l'usine, a minute-long film of workers leaving the Lumi_re factory, captured the imagination of the nation and quickly inspired the likes of Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy, and Charles PathZ. Through the years, French cinema has been responsible for producing some of the world's best directors_Jean Renoir, Jean-Luc Godard, Fran_ois Truffaut, and Louis Malle_and actors_Charles Boyer, Catherine Deneuve, GZrard Depardieu, and Audrey Tautou. The A to Z of French Cinema covers the history of French film from the silent era to the present in a concise and up to date volume detailing the development of French cinema and major theoretical and cultural issues related to it. This is done through a chronology, an introduction, photographs, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on many of the major actors, directors, films, movements, producers, and studios associated with French cinema. Going beyond mere biographical information, entries also discuss the impact and significance of each individual, film, movement, or studio included. This detailed, scholarly analysis of the development of film in France is useful to both the novice and the expert alike.
