Memory and the Moving Image: French Film in the Digital Era

This excellent book addresses two deceptively simple questions in four extended chapters: 'How can films show the processes and mechanisms of memory? And what do the processes and mechanisms of moving images do to memory?' -- Phil Powrie, University Of Surrey, French StudiesThis is a challenging study that might help to re-establish the somewhat diminished reputation of French cinema as one of the most valuable and significant alternatives to the world dominance of the Hollywood-based audio-visual media. -- Peter Hawkins, Journal of European Studies
