{"product_id":"patrice-leconte-lisa-downing-9780719064258","title":"Patrice LeConte","description":"Lisa Downing's comprehensive study of the films of Patrice Leconte traces lines of continuity and revision through a body of apparently disparate films whose \"messages\" often appear both contradictory and controversial. Pursuing a close reading of the recurrent themes, styles, intertexts and techniques which structure Leconte's filmmaking, Downing re-evaluates Leconte's status as an enigmatic artist offering complex and paradoxical commentary on contemporary questions of sexuality, ethics and identity. This book is the first full-length critical work in English on Leconte's cinema. It provides essential reading for both enthusiasts of French cinema and for those fascinated by the relationship between popular culture and theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Downing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719064252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719064258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Lisa Downing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566884090111,"sku":"9780719064258","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8f273a2-6ff1-4f32-a868-b5dc77f704d3.jpg?v=1701374902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patrice-leconte-lisa-downing-9780719064258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
