  • Product Description

    Women?s filmmaking in France is a source of both delight and despair. On the one hand, the numbers are impressive ? during the period in question, over 250 feature length films were made by over 100 women directors in France. On the other hand, despite the heritage of French feminism, French women directors characteristically disclaim their gender as a significant factor in their filmmaking.

    This book provides a critical guide to the range of films made by women during the 1980s and 1990s. It analyses the effects of ?postfeminism?, women?s desire to enter the mainstream, and the recent impact of a new generation of filmmakers. The films are categorised as either personal films (intimate psychological dramas relating to key stages in life) or as genre films (which demonstrate women?s ability to rework and appropriate popular genres).
