These works of art seem to be devoid of political impact. The widespread trend of unrealistic and fantastic art during this period is explained by some scholars as the artists escape from the omnipotent eye of German censorship. The purpose of the book is to show that, contrary to the accepted view, some of these films were intimately linked to the political situation. They convey the demonization of characters that, while not specifically presented as Jews nevertheless manifested anti-Semitic stereotypes of the Jew as ugly, rootless, low, hypocritical, immoral, cruel and power hungry. All five movies analysed (Les Inconnus dans la maison, dir. Henri Decoin, 1942; Les Visiteurs du Soir, dir. Marcel Carne, 1942; L'Eternel retour, dir. Jean Delannoy, 1943; Les Enfants du Paradis, dir. Marcel Carne, 1943) present characters not identified as Jews but who exhibit negative Jewish traits, in contrast to the aristocratic characters whom they aspire to emulate. They demonstrate, implicitly, central themes of explicit anti-Semitic propaganda. Yehuda Moraly addresses two current major misconceptions regarding the Cinema of Occupied France: (1) that the accepted view that there were almost no explicitly Jewish characters in the cinema of that time and place is patently incorrect; and (2) that the feature films of Occupied France were not as it is commonly thought free of the propaganda messages that permeated the press, the radio and documentary films. Analysis of these films brings out the contradictory nature of European anti-Semitism. On one hand, the Jew is the anti-Christ, throttling the world with disgusting materialism while on the other hand, he is representative of an ancestral stifling morality, which it is time to abolish"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-246), filmography (pages 247-249), and index. 505 0 $a Direct anti-Semitic propaganda -- The war on memory -- Le Camion blanc (The white truck, Léo Joannon, 1943) -- Jean Cocteau, Hitler's admirer : L'Eternel retour (The eternal return, 1943) -- The ominous visitors at the splendid white castle : Les visiteurs du soir (The devil's envoys, Marcel Carné, 1942) -- The film's two parts and the historical background : Le Boulevard du Crime (Paris, 1828) and L'homme blanc (Paris, 1836) -- From page and stage to screen : the theatrical sources of Les enfants du paradis -- From Pétain to De Gaulle : the genesis of a EUropean super-production during the black years -- The archeology of a vanishing murder : the old-clothes man character -- The creators against the creator. 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Jews in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z France $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z France $x Motion pictures and the war. 650 7 $a Jews in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983390 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a War and motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919878 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Kessous, Gila, $e translator. 700 1 $a May-Ron, Rona, $d 1974- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025955.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15C75050177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
