Description: | Select Guide Rating This expansive study brings to light a neglected history of suburban Paris as seen and reimagined by French filmmakers before the emergence of the ‘film de banlieue’. -- . The record of French cinema’s many forays into the Paris suburbs is far more than a prehistory of the ‘film de banlieue’. Decades before the emergence – around 1995 – of a self-styled ‘hood’ film in France, filmmakers looked beyond the gates of the City of Light for inspiration and content. |
