Zusatztext this book is timely indeed ... the most compelling section of the book is the middle one, dedicated to the thriller. Here the author appears to come into full flow and his interpretations are lively and well thought through ... an attractive feature of Powrie's writing is that the chapters often raise more questions than there is space to answer, thus giving the text a polemical edge that should provoke readers, in a challenging way, to think beyond the arguments provided by Powrie's mostly very readable analyses. Zusammenfassung This set of critical essays traces the history of French film in the 80s. Focusing on the theme of the crisis of masculinity in contemporary French culture, and its interrelationship with nostalgia, the crisis in the French film industry is also discussed, and specific films examined in detail.
