Book Synopsis From France With Love by : Mary Harrod

Download or read book From France With Love written by Mary Harrod and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love stories have always been at the heart of French cinema, but romantic comedies have, until recently, been absent from it. In 2001, the global success of Amelie catalysed a major development in the Western world's second-largest film industry: the appropriation of the 'Hollywood' romantic comedy genre (or Rom-Com a l'Americaine). In From France with Love, Mary Harrod explores this contemporary phenomenon, examining both local hits and films with international status. Using socio-cultural data, box-office figures and analysis of critical reception, she reveals the ways in which these films mirror shifting attitudes towards gender roles within French society, as well as the increasingly important interrelation between French national cinema and transnational filmmaking paradigms.
