This analysis goes beyond its historical range to engage with key debates in film studies: notably auteurism, stardom and questions of the national.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘McCann’s study of Duvivier argues coherently for the director’s status as an auteur, particularly with its emphasis on recurring themes and its descriptive, but informative, discussions of a range of key films. This book fits well within the French filmmakers series, but can also stand individually as a case study on a long neglected director.’\u003cbr\u003eGillian Kelly, University of Glasgow, \u003ci\u003eHistorical Journal of Film, Radio and Television\u003c\/i\u003e, Vol. 37, No. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'McCann provides a wealth of information on the director’s life, times and work as well as an accessible yet rigorous critical study of Duvivier’s cinema which brings Duvivier into line with his other more revered contemporaries....  If, as McCann argues, Duvivier’s work is ripe for re-evaluation, then this book is surely the guide to such an endeavour. Indeed, it might serve well as a companion to the revisiting of Duvivier’s cinema or, for those familiar only with his best-known films, an exhaustive introduction to those films which, for one reason or another, found their way into the ashcan of cinema history.\u003cbr\u003eFelicity Chaplin, Monash University,\u003ci\u003e senses of cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, No. 87 (June 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: we need to talk about Julien\u003cbr\u003e1 The 'impure' auteur\u003cbr\u003e2 Duvivier's silent films\u003cbr\u003e3 Sound, image, Gabin: Duvivier and the 1930s\u003cbr\u003e4 'Piloting with concentration': Julien goes to Hollywood\u003cbr\u003e5 1946-56: darkness and light\u003cbr\u003e6 Late style\u003cbr\u003e7 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884290355543,"sku":"9780719091148","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/julien-duvivier-french-film-directors-series-9780719091148","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
