It focuses on Pierre Batcheff, a prominent popular cinema star in the 1920's, the French Valentino, best-known to modern audiences for his role as the protagonist of the avant-garde film classic Un chien andalou. Unlike other stars, he was linked to intellectual circles, especially the Surrealists. The book places Batcheff in the context of 1920's popular cinema, with specific reference to male stars of the period. It analyses the tensions he exemplifies between the 'popular' and the 'intellectual' during the 1920's, as cinemaMotion picture actors and actressesFranceSilent filmsFranceHistory and criticismMotion picture actors and actressesSilent filmsHistory and criticism.791.43028092Powrie Phil679037Rebillard Eric0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811918903321Pierre Batcheff and stardom in 1920s French cinema3988129UNINA
