Book Overview: 'French cinema has...been the subject of numerous academic studies over the years, but I doubt if any offer quite such an accessible and arresting introduction as The French Cinema Book. Its editors, Michael Temple and Michael Witt, state that the 25 contributors pledged to avoid the academic jargon and footnotes, and the approach has produced wonderful results.' - Christopher Wood, Times Higher Education
