- Summary:
- Intervening at the crossroads of philosophy, politics, and cinema, this work argues that the career of Robert Guédiguian, director of 'Marius et Jeannette' (1997) and other popular auteurist films, can be read as an original and coherent project: to make a committed, historically-conscious cinema with friends, in a local space, and over a long period of time. Illustrated with comprehensive readings of all of Guédiguian's films.
