{"product_id":"from-france-with-love-mary-harrod-9781350225145","title":"From France With Love: Gender and Identity in French Romantic Comedy","description":"Love stories have always been at the heart of French cinema, but romantic comedies have, until recently, been absent from it. In 2001, the global success of Amelie catalysed a major development in the Western world's second-largest film industry: the appropriation of the 'Hollywood' romantic comedy genre (or Rom-Com a l'Americaine). In From France with Love, Mary Harrod explores this contemporary phenomenon, examining both local hits and films with international status. Using socio-cultural data, box-office figures and analysis of critical reception, she reveals the ways in which these films mirror shifting attitudes towards gender roles within French society, as well as the increasingly important interrelation between French national cinema and transnational filmmaking paradigms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Harrod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350225142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350225145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Mary Harrod","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943252656383,"sku":"9781350225145","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_957f8e47-d6c5-4493-96c3-160ac09d56e8.jpg?v=1681497076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-france-with-love-mary-harrod-9781350225145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
