Home›World and International Narrative Cinema›European Cinema›French CinemaGroupFrench CinemaThis child group of European Cinema collects that broader group's members whose primary country of origin is France, spanning the French New Wave directors Godard, Truffaut and Chabrol, French poetic realism, and contemporary French auteur and popular cinema including musicals, dramas and satire. At 53 members it is this parent group's largest single-country child, kept apart from this parent group's other clusters by France being the clearly primary listed country of origin rather than a co-production partner.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1895 1Browse ByAll French CinemaFrench Cinema53 entriesFrench CinemaFilter
