Cross-Channel Perspectives: The French Reception of British Cinema

0/5 ( ratings)

This book is the first ever full-length study of the reception of British cinema in post-war France, challenging Francois Truffaut's infamous dismissal of British cinema as 'a contradiction in terms', a comment which has been, and still is, widely reproduced, yet has until now remained critically unexplored.
A historical account, the book gathers together well-known episodes and critics , along with original new material, and thus throws new light on a topic which, given the influential nature of French film criticism and cinephilia, continues to be at the core of film culture.
