French Cinema-A Critical Filmography Summary

French Cinema-A Critical Filmography: Volume 1, 1929-1939 by Colin Crisp

This invaluable resource by one of the world's leading experts in French cinema presents a coherent overview of French cinema in the 20th century and its place and function in French society. Each filmography includes 101 films listed chronologically (Volume 1: 1929-1939 and Volume 2: 1940-1958) and provides accessible points of entry into the remarkable world of 20th-century French cinema. All entries contain a list of cast members and characters, production details, an overview of the film's cultural and historical significance, and a critical summary of the film's plot and narrative structure. Each volume includes an appendix listing rewards earned and an extensive reference list for further reading and research. A third volume, covering the period 1958-1974, is forthcoming.

French Cinema-A Critical Filmography Reviews

By delving into the mise en scene, editing practices, and 'theatricality' of largely unseen works of French 1930s cinema, Crisp reveals the richness of different genres and pushes back against the critically sanctioned masterpieces of, say, Marcel Carne, in favour of inclusivity and diversity.

* French Studies *

In these introductions and in the coverage of the individual films . . . , Crisp displays a truly remarkable ability to condense sensitive, original insights into succinct prose and yet leave readers feeling well nourished. . . . Highly recommended.
