Examining the intricate ties between cinema and national identity in France, this work delves into the concepts of 'political myth' and 'the film event' as key theoretical frameworks. It explores themes of national elitism, neo-colonialism, and exclusionary discourses, while also addressing the role of cinema in the extreme right Front National. Through analysis of influential directors like Godard, Renoir, and Truffaut, the book uncovers hidden histories and insider codes that shape the relationship between film and nationalism in France.
