Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De l'autre côté du miroir... " Il l'avait bien prévenue qu'il n'était pas pour elle, mais elle avait pensé qu'il faisait allusion à sa passion pour tout ce qui tourne autour des bécanes, pas à sa personne proprement dite. Elle le laisse avancer vers elle, le détaille, jaugeant rapidement le bon et l'ivraie. D'un seul regard, elle a capté le gros ventre, les chaînes autour du cou, les tatouages, les bracelets de cuir ou de force, va-t-en savoir... Essaie de donner le change pour dissimuler son désenchantement. Une fois face à face, il lui caresse la joue, et lance simplement : prête, petite fille ? " Il a flashé sur elle, elle a flashé sur lui. Qu'est-ce qui les attend de l'autre côté du miroir aux alouettes de leur écran ? Une belle histoire ? Un caprice ? Du sexe ? Un piège ? Une anecdote dont on rira plus tard ? Une déception ou juste une leçon de vie ? Tout est possible à partir d'un double clic. Le pire ou le meilleur.

Download or read book Reframing difference written by Carrie Tarr and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reframing difference is the first major study of two overlapping strands of contemporary French cinema, cinema beur (films by young directors of Maghrebi immigrant origin) and cinema de banlieue (films set in France's disadvantaged outer-city estates). Carrie Tarr's insightful account draws on a wide range of films, from directors such as Mehdi Charef, Mathieu Kassovitz and Djamel Bensalah. Her analyses compare the work of male and female, majority and minority film-makers, and emphasise the significance of authorship in the representation of gender and ethnicity. Foregrounding such issues as the quest for identity, the negotiation of space and the recourse to memory and history, she argues that these films challenge and reframe the symbolic spaces of French culture, addressing issues of ethnicity and difference which are central to today's debates about what it means to be French. This timely book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between cinema and citizenship in a multicultural society.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of French Film Directors written by Philippe Rège and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 1486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.
Download or read book Les histoires d amour finissent mal written by Mademoiselle d and published by Baudelaire. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre nous parle d'amour à l'heure de la nouvelle génération. Aujourd'hui on drague par texto et par chat, on construit une histoire par internet ou par SMS, il y a du bon et du mauvais dans tout ça... Mais peu importe les générations et nos moyens de communication puisqu'en ce qui concerne l'amour " On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. " Saint-Exupéry (Joliment dit, même si je n'en suis pas complètement persuadée !) Quand une histoire commence aussi bien, on se dit qu'elle ne peut finir qu'en magnifique histoire d'amour... Mais quand elle commence aussi bien et qu'elle ne conclut jamais, c'est tout simplement un gâchis que l'on ne parvient pas à oublier. Carrie Bradshaw a-t-elle raison quand elle dit qu'on fait peut-être des obsessions juste sur les relations inachevées ! Les chansons racontent souvent assez bien les histoires d'amour, c'est pourquoi je fais souvent référence aux paroles de certains interprètes pour exprimer mon ressenti : Stromae, Camélia Jordana, Jenifer, Grand Corps Malade, etc. Finalement, chaque moment de notre vie est déjà presque raconté dans une chanson ! C'est pourquoi ce livre est à mi-chemin entre un récit d'histoires d'amour et un recueil de chansons.

Download or read book Re hybridizing Transnational Domesticity and Femininity written by Stacey Weber-F&ève and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-hybridizing Transnational Domesticity and Femininity examines the problems of voicing the personal when considering the role and place of women in the home. Analyzing a collection of first-person cinematic and literary narratives by Assia Djebar, Annie Ernaux, Simone de Beauvoir, Raja Amari, Coline Serreau, Le la Sebbar, and Yamina Benguigui; Weber-F_ve explores the transnational processes of identity formation, gender performance, and construction of culture and society. Through a closer look at contemporary representations of French, Algerian, and Tunisian women on the page and on the screen, this study discusses the ways in which homemaking, nation, and gender are intricately bound to one another and situated in personal history. Working within, as well as beyond, so-called national systems of visual and written representation, these women artists challenge inherited and monolithic performances, definitions, and discourses of femininity. In doing so, they create re-hybridized subjects that begin to recognize and embrace the differences within themselves. The authors and filmmakers in this study-through their female protagonists, the protagonists' homes and homemaking acts, and the investigative lens of the interrogation of the personal-are interested in exploring how the process of uncovering or articulating new and 'other' identities and subjectivities ushers in new and 're-hybridized' ways of seeing, knowing, and being female.
Download or read book Paris in the Cinema written by Alastair Phillips and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Paris in the Cinema' offers a new approach to the representation of Paris on screen. Bringing together a wide range of renowned French and Anglophone specialists in film, television, history, architecture and literature, the volume introduces, challenges and extends ideas about the city as the locus of screen modernity. Through a range of concrete and historically-specific case studies, ranging from particular districts such as Saint-Germain-des-Pres and les banlieues (the suburbs) in French cinema, to iconic figures such as the detective Maigret and the lovers, and from locations such as the hotel, the building site and the Eiffel Tower to filmmakers such as Agnes Varda and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this unique text demonstrates how the cinematic city of Paris now constitutes a major archive of French cultural history and memory.

Download or read book Global Genres Local Films written by Elena Oliete-Aldea and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acute processes of globalisation at the turn of the century have generated an increased interest in exploring the interactions between the so-called global cultural products or trends and their specific local manifestations. Even though cross-cultural connections are becoming more patent in filmic productions in the last decades, cinema per se has always been characterized by its hybrid, transnational, border-crossing nature. From its own inception, Spanish film production was soon tied to the Hollywood film industry for its subsistence, but other film traditions such as those in the Soviet Union, France, Germany and, in particular, Italy also determined either directly or indirectly the development of Spanish cinema. Global Genres, Local Films: The Transnational Dimension of Spanish Cinema reaches beyond the limits of the film text and analyses and contextualizes the impact of global film trends and genres on Spanish cinema in order to study how they helped articulate specific national challenges from the conflict between liberalism and tradition in the first decades of the 20th century to the management of the contemporary financial crisis. This collection provides the first comprehensive picture of the complex national and supranational forces that have shaped Spanish films, revealing the tensions and the intricate dialogue between cross-cultural aesthetic and narrative models on the one hand, and indigenous traditions on the other, as well as the political and historical contingencies these different expressions responded to.

Download or read book Cinema and the Second Sex written by Carrie Tarr and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's filmmaking in France has been a source of both delight and despair. On the one hand, the numbers are impressive – over 250 feature-length films were made by over 100 women directors in France in the 1980s and 1990s. On the other hand, despite the heritage of French feminism, French women directors characteristically disclaim their gender as a significant factor in their filmmaking. This incisive study provides an informative, critical guide to this major body of work, exploring the boundaries between personal films (intimate psychological dramas relating to key stages in life) and genre films (which demonstrate women's ability to appropriate and rework popular genres). It analyzes the effects of postfeminism, women's desire to enter the mainstream, and the impact of a new generation of filmmakers, enabling readers to take stock of the wealth and diversity of women's contribution to French cinema during the 1980s and 1990s.
