Each chapter focuses on one or more key films, from the groundbreaking output of the Nouvelle Vague ( \u003ci\u003eLes 400 coups\u003c\/i\u003e, 1959) to contemporary documentaries ( \u003ci\u003eEtre et avoir\u003c\/i\u003e, 2002) and situates these works within explorations of childhood, adolescence, and coming of age; auteur ideology and individual style; the representation of recent French history; aesthetic approaches; transnational production practices; and popular cinema, comedy, and gender issues. Taken together, this history provides a fresh perspective on postwar French history and points readers toward further study of related films.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auteur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184694182128,"sku":"9781906733919","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906733919_p0.jpg?v=1763617453","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906733919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
