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 cinema 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zFrance 606 $aSilent films$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aSilent films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43028092 700 $aPowrie$b Phil$0679037 701 $aRebillard$b E?ric$0183889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454266103321 996 $aPierre Batcheff and stardom in 1920s French cinema$92488415 997 $aUNINA
