A Review by Ally Lee, University of Warwick Martin O’Shaughnessy’s Laurent Cantet is the latest edition of—and the author’s second contribution to—the Manchester University Press French Film Directors series after the publication in 2000 of his study on the films of Jean Renoir. The series currently features an impressive forty volumes and this assessment of one of France’s most important active filmmakers is a welcome addition. Despite Cantet’s prominence, he has so far been the subject of relatively little scholarly investigation. Previously, only one monograph-length exploration of the director’s oeuvre, Yannick Lebtahi and Isabelle Rousel-Gillet’s stimulating and insightful Pour une méthode d’investigation du cinéma de Laurent Cantet, had been published.

    H-France Review Volume 17 (2017) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 17 (March 2017), No. 58 Martin O’Shaughnessy, Laurent Cantet. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2015. 208 pp. Notes, bibliography, and index. £65.00. (hb). ISBN: 978-0-7190-9150-6. Review by Jessica Livingston, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Laurent Cantet’s films have attracted attention for their timely political relevance, most notably when Entre Les Murs (The Class) won the Palme d’or at Cannes in 2008 and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Entre Les Murs opened up debates regarding the role of the Republican school in France, and his earlier film Ressources humaines (Human Resources; 1999) resonated with the public debates on the thirty-five-hour workweek. Many of Cantet’s films address the globalized world and its inequities whether situated in the workplace, classroom, or tourist destination, and portray individuals at the margins and the center. While his films have received critical and popular attention in France and globally, little critical scholarship in English exists on his films, so he is a particularly apt choice of director for the fortieth volume in the French Film Director Series from Manchester University Press. Martin O’Shaughnessy, who has written on both French cinema and political cinema in earlier studies, provides an insightful synthesis of Cantet’s films in an accessible study as is a trademark of the French Film Directors series. He balances the task of synthesizing Cantet’s varied films into cogent themes while analyzing the films in their specificities. The first chapter, “A Director and His Methods,” which O’Shaugnessy calls “a vital prelude" to the other chapters is certainly the heart of the book (p.

Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.
