- Summary
- "Drawing on mobility studies, cultural geography and film theory this innovative work sketches out the flexible yet distinctive parameters of contemporary French-language road cinema, and argues for an understanding of the 'road movie' not a s a genre but as a thematic and formal template that crosses cinematic categoreis to bring together a wide array of films that narrate the movements of migrans, tourists and business executives."--Page [4] of cover.
