  • The Phenomenological Aesthetics of the French Action Film
    Les Sensations fortes: The phenomenological aesthetics of the French action film DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Alexander Roesch Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Flinn, Advisor Patrick Bray Dana Renga Copyrighted by Matthew Alexander Roesch 2017 Abstract This dissertation treats les sensations fortes, or “thrills”, that can be accessed through the experience of viewing a French action film. Throughout the last few decades, French cinema has produced an increasing number of “genre” films, a trend that is remarked by the appearance of more generic variety and the increased labeling of these films – as generic variety – in France. Regardless of the critical or even public support for these projects, these films engage in a spectatorial experience that is unique to the action genre. But how do these films accomplish their experiential phenomenology? Starting with the appearance of Luc Besson in the 1980s, and following with the increased hybrid mixing of the genre with other popular genres, as well as the recurrence of sequels in the 2000s and 2010s, action films portray a growing emphasis on the importance of the film experience and its relation to everyday life. Rather than being direct copies of Hollywood or Hong Kong action cinema, French films are uniquely sensational based on their spectacular visuals, their narrative tendencies, and their presentation of the corporeal form. Relying on a phenomenological examination of the action film filtered through the philosophical texts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, Mikel Dufrenne, and Jean- Luc Marion, in this dissertation I show that French action cinema is pre-eminently concerned with the thrill that comes from the experience, and less concerned with a ii political or ideological commentary on the state of French culture or cinema.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Steven Gerrard and Robert Shail In August 2018, Warner Brothers released their $130- million production The Meg . Based on Steve Alten’s bestselling book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror (1997), and directed by Jon Turteltaub, the fi lm sees the main character – Jonas Taylor, a deep- sea diver working for the American navy – battle a 75- foot long, 20- million- year- old megalodon shark that has been revived from its deep slumber. The fi lm, a co- production between American and Chinese companies with a Jaws - meets-Jurassic Park advertising campaign, starred British fi lm actor Jason Statham. The aim of this edited collection is to introduce, survey and develop various critical analyses of Statham across not only his fi lm work but his work away from cinema and across a var- iety of transmedia. Film stars are often the mainstay of academic and lay dis- cussion about the latest fi lms and cinematic fads. While genres may fl uctuate in fortune, the fi lm star remains arguably the most important of all cinematic commodities. Film stars sell movies. But they don’t only do this. Over the last twenty years, and since Richard Dyer’s work in Stars ( 1998 ), the study of fi lm stars, celeb- rity and stardom has become the centre for much critical argu- ment. According to Dyer ( 1998 : 1– 4), these critical arguments have usually taken on two perspectives: the social/ cultural con- text, and the semiotic. He argues that these two approaches, where stars are seen as a social phenomenon and that the star is important only because of the fi lm(s) that they appear in, have formed the backbone to much that has been written about movie 2 2 Steven Gerrard and Robert Shail stars.
