Martin O’Shaughnessy. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2015 (194 pages). ISBN: 9780719091506. 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. -

Deeply troubled, he finds a little comfort with Luciana, a young, attractive, atheist social worker. As Nicolas’ faith weakens, tension and violence between the slum’s drug-dealing cartels grow. And when work on the hospital is halted by ministerial decree, the fuse is lit...

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. -

Five friends gather to celebrate the return of Amadeo after 16 years of exile. RETURN TO ITHACA From dusk to dawn, they reminisce about their youth, the group they used to form, A FILM BY LAURENT CANTET the faith they had in the future... but also their disillusionment. The drama brought about by exile and its personal and collective consequences, by INTRODUTION BY LEONARDO PADURA the struggle for economic survival, by camouflage as a way of life, by ethical loss or clinging to national and cultural loyalties, the spiritual defeat and struggle against all fears… these are a few of the ingredients which flavor the recent bends in the road for this generation, one that dreamed of a better future for all and sacrificed itself for A GENERATION IN THE that dream. Through Amadeo, Rafa, Tania, Aldo an Eddy’s experiences, through the circumstances which went into forming their friendship from a tender age and the ways HURRICANE OF HISTORY they preserved it over the years, the film attempts to find the blood, sweat and tears of a collective experience through those of a few individuals who are unique to their time As a single night unfolds on a Havana rooftop terrace, Amadeo, Aldo, Tania, Rafa and and place. -

Employing Arjun Appardurai’s concepts of financescapes, technoscapes, mediascapes, ethnoscapes, and ideoscapes, I analyze the filmic accent of six Palestinian filmmakers: Michel Khleifi, Rashid Masharawi, Ali Nassar, Elia Suleiman, Hany Abu Assad, and Annemarie Jacir. -

The promise of a new life turns into a comedy of errors: however far he travels, from Paris to New York, something always reminds him of home. From award-winning director Elia Suleiman, a comic saga exploring identity, nationality and belonging, in which ES asks the fundamental question: where is the place we can truly call home? DIRECTOR’S NOTE “The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is a foreign land. The tender soul has fixed his love on one spot in the world; the strong man has extended his love to all places; the perfect man has extinguished his.” Hugh of Saint Victor “Where do the birds fly after the last sky?” Mahmoud Darwich If my previous films tried to present Palestine as a microcosm of the world; my new film It Must Be Heaven tries to show the world as if it were a microcosm of Palestine. -
Staging the Sublimation of Cliché: Elia Suleiman’S Silences in the Time That Remains (2009) Twice the Son Glances at His Mother, Who Gazes Fixedly at the Screen
Staging the I don’t get so close that you think: Sublimation “Oh my God; this is interesting.” of Cliché: I worked with a certain amount of [Palestinian] actors; some Elia Suleiman’s of them I did not enjoy very Silences in The Time much because they come from a very very severely overacting That Remains (2009) theatrical experience I cannot Tom Hill1 stand. Sometimes when they start to use their… expressions on their faces, I’m like, please… you know, then Palestine the cliché starts: we are victims or we are victors or… we always have to put some angry expression to say how our land was lost, which doesn’t work for me. As you see I don’t use it. A lot of the characters are movements within the frame, and I prefer the choreography, I prefer the musicality that comes from their appearances etc… it would be a lie to say that I directed them, so to speak… Elia Suleiman2 You gave no instructions save to forbid excessive interpretation… [to] beware of those who do not know what weariness is, who interpret too much. Mahmoud Darwish3 An elderly mother and her son sit wordless in a Nazareth living room, facing us. The television screen they are watching, which is never seen, spews the sounds of a raging battle, which neither receives nor seems to require any commentary.
