Judith Mayne's comprehensive study traces Denis's career and discusses her major feature films in rich detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Paris but raised in West Africa, Denis explores in her films the legacies of French colonialism and the complex relationships between sexuality, gender, and race. From the adult woman who observes her past as a child in Cameroon to the Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in Paris and watches a serial killer to the disgraced French Foreign Legionnaire attempting to make sense of his past, the subjects of Denis's films continually revisit themes of watching, bearing witness, and making contact, as well as displacement, masculinity, and the migratory subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Mayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252072383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252072383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.60w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2005 pg. 1422","brand":"Judith Mayne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055879975167,"sku":"9780252072383","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca799847-0ea9-43df-b530-1625901079e2.jpg?v=1685038314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claire-denis-judith-mayne-9780252072383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
