Description

In a market long dominated by Hollywood, French films are consistently the most widely distributed non-English language works.

French cinema, however, appears to undergo a transformation as it reaches Britain, becoming something quite different to that experienced by audiences at home.

Drawing on extensive archival research the authors examine in detail the discourses, debates and decisions which have determined the place accorded to French cinema in British film culture.

In so doing they provide a fascinating account of this particular instance of transnational cinematic traffic while simultaneously shedding new light on British film history.

From the early days of the Film Society, via the advent of the X certificate to the new possibilities of video and DVD, this book reveals the complex and detailed history of the distribution, exhibition, marketing and reception of French cinema in Britain.
