Offering portraits of such key figures as the  Lumiere brothers, Georges Melies, Charles Pathe and Leon Gaumont, he  looks at the early pioneers who transformed a fairground novelty into a  global industry. The crisis caused by the First World War led France  to surrender her position as the world's dominant film-making power,  but French cinema forged a new role for itself as a beacon of cinematic  possibility and achievement.\r\n\r\n Suggesting a Gallic attitude that has always considered  the cinema to be as much a cause as a business, Drazin looks at the  extraordinary resilience of the French film industry during the Second  World War when, in spite of the national catastrophe of defeat and  occupation, it was still able to produce such classics as Le Corbeau and Les Enfants du Paradis.   Finally,  he traces its remarkable post-war regeneration. He looks at the seminal  impact of the New Wave of film-makers - typified by Truffaut and Godard  -  but also at the other waves that have followed since.\r\n\r\n As he brings  the story into the twenty-first century - with Jacques Audaird's award-winning A Prophet  - he seeks to capture the essence of the French film tradition and why  it continues to matter to anyone who cares about the cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
