This book provides the first detailed analysis of the work of four important contemporary directors whose work falls between the reductive labels of 'auteur cinema' and 'popular cinema'. Their work is contextualised within this timely investigation into the shifting relationship between the privileged status of the auteur and questions of genre, gender and cinematic production in France today. This important contribution to understanding the shifting landscapes of contemporary French film identifies an essential intermediacy in the films of these directors, which works to undo a series of dominant oppositions, generic template and contestation, public collectivity and personal intimacy, to offer a new perspective on the location of the political in contemporary French cinema. The four chapters provide detailed critical analysis of films by Dominique Cabrera, Laetitia Masson, Noémie Lvovsky and Marion Vernoux, and present common thread including the possible construction of social intimacy, the political demystification of romance narratives and the role of nostalgia, to argue that their work uses popular genres in order to challenge dominant cultural representation that resonates beyond the immediate parameters of contemporary French cinema. This book will be of interest to researchers working in French and European cinema, to students of Film Studies and French and Francophone Studies, and to film enthusiasts.

In My Own Words (Sur les bouts de la langue) is a narrative essay in which translator Noémie Grunenwald, through her own experience, explores feminist issues in the act of translation. Combining theoretical reflection and personal narrative she questions the dominant conceptions of translation and demonstrates that engagement in translation, far from bringing an additional bias, allows her to work better. In this essay, she describes translation as a collective process which helps reveal genders’ blind spots in the French language and directly act on it as well as on the world around it.
Noémie has already broken more than 300 records and the number is steadily growing every day: the speed record for dressing, undressing, brushing her teeth, getting to the kitchen, going to school and to the park! But when she starts choking while hurrying to eat her cereal, her parents have had enough. Will they have to confiscate her stopwatch to stop this record-breaking frenzy? Will she have to start breaking records for slowness like Grandma Lumbago? You don’t know Noémie. She’ll use her vivid imagination to beat other records!
Morz is the northernmost land in the world. Centuries ago, the snow has stopped falling and the ice melted, becoming a shapeless, disgusting mud. There is a shadow to the east of Morz; the shadow of Noir, a maleficent spirit which will do anything to bring the kingdom to his demise. Right behind his steps, is the Second, a prodigious warrior, crueller and fiercer than every minion revolving around them. There is a child on Morz throne: He is expected to be as fervent as his ancestors to maintain the kingdom in the Light. But prince Jaroslav doubts his position and only wants one thing: to live in peace. And in the north, close to the mountains, the witches hatch, vengeful, devoured by their uncertain dream of making snow fall again on their fallen world.

? THE HIDDEN HATRED is the story of homosexuality as a phenomenon that appears to be universal, while social pressure, combined with a specific perception of traditional values, can lead a young man to the extreme: a plot full of the unexpected.Two African parents discover the homosexuality of 3 of their 4 boys the hardest way: they are watching the news on TV when the latters, who have immigrated in Europe some few years ago without notice, pop up on their screen kissing other men during a gay parade. This creates a dreadful and devastating storm in their lives, taking in account the fact that in their context, homosexuality is so condemned that it is compared to curse. They are excluded from everything, living isolated, and their last son, Jean-Noël, twenty years and only heterosexual of the brotherhood is forced to leave his school, being also abandoned by Noemie, his longtime girl friend. Months later, the same parents learn that their only girl, married, with 2 daughters, is having an affair with a woman who is none other than their country's minister of social affairs. The social comdemnation grows even higher and harsher. They are accused of having not educated their children properly and the retaliation attitudes are terrible, coming from the less expected people. This is a little too much for them, the poor parents commit suicide, taking their lives simultaneously. Remained orphan, Jean-Noël blames his family's tragedy on the media which programs, according to him, caused his siblings to turn homosexual and for this reason, he starts hating them with all his heart. Yet, realizing that he can't live with such destroying feeling, he battles it déterminingly. Unfortunately, when he thinks he has found peace of mind, Rocky Butten, an Hollywood filmmaker, comes to the natural reserve where he works as a tour guide, supposedly for vacations; supposedly for Rocky will fall in love with Félicité, the manager of the natural reserve; they will marry and give birth to triplets, three boys. The encounter with this ultimate representative of the abhorred professional category awakes the young boy's hatred again, revealing it even stronger, deeper than ever. And here is the beginning of a "sui generis" development of the complexity of the human psyche, which strange and incredible manifestations will lead Jean-Noel to crime. Though Rocky only shows him trust and friendship, the latter will kill him in a very ingenious way. Afterwards, with a similar creative manner, he will kill his entire family. But the only thing his evil genius hadn't planned is that Dylan, one of Rocky's son will survive. But he will survive, to only discover years later, when they already have two kids, that Alicia, his sweet wife, is the very niece of Jean-Noël, the man who decimated all his beloved ones! How will Dylan live with that discovery? What will he decide? Abandoning her? show understanding? Whatever he decides will his psyche allow him true peace of mind?
