Mer om författaren

Colin Crisp is a leading scholar in French film history and author of The Classic French Cinema, 1930–1960 (IUP, 1993) and Genre, Myth, and Convention in the French Cinema, 1929–1939 (IUP, 2002).

Recensioner i media

By delving into the mise en scène, editing practices, and 'theatricality' of largely unseen works of French 1930s cinema, Crisp reveals the richness of different genres and pushes back against the critically sanctioned masterpieces of, say, Marcel Carné, in favour of inclusivity and diversity.(French Studies) In these introductions and in the coverage of the individual films . . . , Crisp displays a truly remarkable ability to condense sensitive, original insights into succinct prose and yet leave readers feeling well nourished. . . . Highly recommended.(Choice)
