The French Reception of British Cinema
Paperback
Publication Date: 22/12/2008
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 (such as Cahiers du cinema in the 1950s) and critics (Andre Bazin, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard), 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.
