Gesture in French Post-New Wave Cinema

By: Giraud, François

This book examines the aesthetics of gesture in a selection of French post-New Wave films, revealing how cinema can be used to show the impact of social conditioning on the body, especially in the aftermath of May 1968. These filmmakers developed radical cinematic approaches to represent the body, attitudes and postures.
