Synopsis
The first book to fully focus on French cult filmmakers Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Caro & Jeunet: Crafting French Cinema brings a scholarly perspective to the filmmakers’ collaborative and solo artistic projects as outliers in approach and content. Studying from their beginning passion for animation history to their most current works, Scatton-Tessier establishes their presence and recognition as do-it-yourselfers in comics culture, advertising, and film production. Covering punk, DIY production, intertextuality, performance, and vigilantism through close film analysis and cultural studies research, this book offers a much-needed look at Caro and Jeunet’s forty-plus years of artistic innovation. Includes material from rare academic interviews with Marc Caro; links comics, DIY and film approach and production by Jeunet and Caro; thematic approach allows for filmic trends and cultural background to be studied as well; relevant areas of research include social justice and critique on the screen; intertextuality and 'borrowing', filmic strategies in tradition (adoptions of the fairy tale schema) and innovation (CGI experimentation), the storyboard usage in film history and analysis.
