In the Paris suburbs they found an inexhaustible reservoir of forms, landscapes and social types in which to anchor their fictions, from bourgeois villas and bucolic riverside cafes to post-war housing estates and postmodern new towns. For the first time in English, contributors to this volume address key aspects of this long film history, marked by such towering figures as Jean Renoir, Jacques Tati and Jean-Luc Godard. Idyllic or menacing, expansive or claustrophobic, the suburb served divergent aesthetic and ideological programmes across the better part of a century. Themes central to French cultural modernity -- class conflict, leisure, boredom and anti-authoritarianism -- cut across the fifteen chapters. 606 $aSuburbs$zFrance 606 $aMotion pictures$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aSuburbs in motion pictures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSuburbs 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aSuburbs in motion pictures. 676 $a791.4365844361 702 $aMet$b Philippe 702 $aSchilling$b Derek$g(Derek G.), 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480945203321 996 $aScreening the Paris suburbs$92441064 997 $aUNINA
