| book description |

This is the first monograph on controversial French director Louis Malle to be published in English. Hugo Frey introduces Malleâ€™s work through a lucid analysis of his many masterpieces, including Le Feu Follet, Lacombe Lucien and Au revoir les enfants. He also traces the directorâ€™s extended period of work in the USA, which resulted in powerful films such as Pretty Baby, Atlantic City USA and My Dinner with AndrÃ©. The book focuses on the most challenging aspects of Malleâ€™s oeuvre, his aesthetic vision, his youthful attraction to a form of right-wing pessimism, and his 1970s libertarianism. By rethinking Malleâ€™s portrayals of Nazi-occupied France, Frey demonstrates that he is of equal importance to contemporary historians as to film studies. This new appraisal is a nuanced study of an important film-maker, and a critical intervention in the debates which surround Malleâ€™s work. -- .
