French Film Theory and Criticism: A History/Anthology, 1907-1939 : 1929-1939 (French Film Theory & Criticism)

Editorial Reviews Amazon.com The second volume of Richard Abel's "history/anthology" of French film theory and criticism covers the period 1929-1939 and the transition from the silent to the sound film. In the years when Jean Renoir, René Clair, and Jean Vigo produced most of their masterpieces, the French debated intensely over the sociology and politics of the cinema as well as its use as a vehicle for fantasy and realism. Abel provides an overview of these debates in three probing and concise essays. He illustrates his analyses with excerpts from the writings of major French directors as well as authors like Jean Epstein, Marcel Pagnol, and Georges Sadoul. Review [Richard Abel] has put all interested in French cinema deeply in his debt. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
