On one level, this book provides a concise and comprehensive account of Robert Guédiguian's numerous films, combining meticulous stylistic analyses with historical, political, and generic context. But more deeply, it makes the case that Guédiguian's work represents one of the most discretely original and radical projects of contemporary French cinema. When Marius et Jeannette (1997) made Guédiguian a household name in France, most viewers were unaware that the film's freshness was the product of a project that Guédiguian had started in 1981 and that continues today: to make politically committed films with friends, predominately in a local space, over a long period of time.

This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche, and Claire Denis.

Robert Guédiguian est un cinéaste à part. ;, C'est peut-être parce qu'il aurait voulu être un " révolutionnaire professionnel " qu'il a fait dans sa profession une révolution : être indépendant, libre, fidèle à ses idées et à ses amitiés... Ce n'est pas si facile par les temps qui courent ! Son discours est clair, entier, sans compromis, sans maniérisme, mais toujours avec conviction et lucidité. " Une forme de communisme est la seule survie de l'humanité" dit-il. Mais en attendant des temps meilleurs, il continue de militer avec sa caméra en racontant la vie des siens. Et il est comme son cinéma : intelligent et très attachant.
