Filmmakers have followed suit, turning to Hollywood genre conventions to challenge notions of identity, belonging, and marginalization in mainstream French film. French B Movies proposes that French banlieue films, far from being a fringe genre, offer a privileged site from which to understand the current state of the French film industry in an age of globalization. This gritty style appears in popular arthouse films such as Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine and Bande de filles (Girlhood) along with the major Netflix hit series Lupin. David Pettersen traces how, in these works and others, directors fuse features of banlieue cinema with genre formulas associated with both Hollywood and Black cultural models, as well as how transnational genre hybridizations, such as B movies, have become part of the ecosystem of the French film industry. By combining film analysis, cultural history, critical theory, and industry studies, French B Movies reveals how featuring banlieues is as much about trying to imagine new identities and production models for French cinema as it is about representation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Suburban cinema between art and genre -- Luc Besson's EuropaCorp and parkour in the suburbs -- Suburban gangsters: screen violence and the banlieues -- Suburbanoia and French banlieue horror films -- Omar Sy: Black superstardom in contemporary France -- Beyond the art/genre divide: CeÌline Sciamma's Girlhood -- Conclusion: Genre, inclusive casting, and the suburbs in the age of SVoD 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z France $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Banlieue films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Minorities in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Film genres $z France. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Film genres. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924269 650 7 $a Identity (Psychology) in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966911 650 7 $a Minorities in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023282 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pettersen, David A. $t French B movies $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, 2023 $z 9780253064905 $w (DLC) 2022033276 830 0 $a New directions in national cinemas. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014941.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=249DF97EF47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
