Secondly, Sharpe contends that whilst late-colonial French cinema cannot be seen as a coherent cinematic movement, school of filmmaking, or genre, it can be seen as a coherent ethical trend, with many of the fifteen central case studies explored in Late-colonial French Cinema filtering the Algerian War of Independence through a discourse of 'redemptive pacifism'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mani Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474462022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474462020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mani Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140972597503,"sku":"9781474462020","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2def2fd4-9683-47a4-8756-1d7048104118.jpg?v=1726597563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-colonial-french-cinema-mani-sharpe-9781474462020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
