Through an analysis of films as diverse as Jean de Florette, Ma Vie en Rose and Nikita, this collection of essays is a comprehensive introduction to the concerns and styles of contemporary French cinema. Examining questions of popular, as opposed to art, cinema, the book also seeks to (re)present films that have been widely popular in France and internationally, and thus to challene the traditional art-house view of French film.
