These include \u003cem\u003eLe Jouet\u003c\/em\u003e (1976), \u003cem\u003eLes fugitifs\u003c\/em\u003e (1986) and\u003cem\u003e L'emmerdeur\u003c\/em\u003e (2008). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConsidering also Veber's extensive work as a playwright, theatre director and screenwriter - as well as the numerous remakes and adaptations of his films in Hollywood - author Keith Corson focuses on issues of class, labour and politics to examine the ways in which Veber embeds serious social critiques in his mainstream films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Corson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474429491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474429498\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 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Keith Corson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943182729471,"sku":"9781474429498","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e6bf0e25-839a-4c6f-ad73-d7515a329081.jpg?v=1681496683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refocus-keith-corson-9781474429498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
