Georges Franju

Edición de la obra Georges Franju

"This volume examines the entire cinematic output of Georges Franju, the co-founder of the Cinematheque francaise. The first book on Franju in English since 1967 and the fullest study of him to date, it is likely to become the standard reference work on this critically neglected director." "Two of this book's four chapters investigate genre and gender, issues in his cinema completely ignored by critics hitherto. The chapter devoted to his courts metrages breaks new ground by grouping them thematically, while the chapter on Franju's cinematic aesthetics offers a new synthesis of existing writings on this subject, and new insights into his approach to 'the real'. A full introduction and conclusion set Franju's career in the context of his lifelong cinephilia and commitment to France's cinema institutions." "Georges Franju will be essential reading on Franju, and will be of interest to all film scholars, students and enthusiasts."--BOOK JACKET.
