Description de l'ouvrage:
East-West Encounters: Franco-Asian Cinema and Literature is the first book of its kind to examine Franco-Asian film and literary productions in the context of France's postcolonial history. It covers French film-makers' approaches to the Asian 'Other', as well as focusing on the works of Vietnamese and Cambodian directors living and working in France. The book thus examines this important contemporary example of cultural exchange and establishes a dialogue between producers and consumers of exoticised images. It features extensive studies of key texts such as Emmanuelle, Indochine, The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo.
À propos de l'auteur :
Sylvie Blum-Reid is Assistant Professor of French and Film at the University of Florida, and has published widely on French cinema and postcolonial studies.
Revue de Presse:

A valuable contribution... Blum-Reid's book packs in an enormous amount of important material and will be of considerable value. Michelle E. Bloom, Film Quarterly
