More about the book
Exploring the intersection of ethnography and cinema, this book examines the impact of the French colonial decline on 1960s filmmakers like Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, and Alain Resnais. It highlights how these directors turned their lens inward, reflecting a deepening awareness of France's shifting identity. By analyzing iconic films such as Breathless and La Jetée, the author illustrates how the filmmakers' work serves as a response to the unraveling national narrative, making it a vital read for those interested in cinema and national identity.
