Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sbastien Lifshitz and Cline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century.

Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors' careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans
* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.

Reviews for Queer Cinema in Contemporary France: Five Directors

'[Reeser] deploys a theoretical approach that allows him to focus not on what queer is but on what queer does ... his book makes a unique contribution to the field: a work of reference that also opens to new developments.' David Caron, French Studies -- .
