Le grand livre du cinéma, by Aloïs Marignane & Raphaële Botte

Comedy or western? Thriller or science fiction? When it comes to films, viewers have their preferences. But what makes these film genres so special? Often highly codified, they adhere to a certain aesthetic and transport us to a wide variety of worlds, which is what makes cinema so rich. This non-fiction picture book, beautifully illustrated by Aloïs Marignane, offers a highly immersive and lively introduction to the history of cinema.

For each genre, author Raphaële Botte provides a wealth of anecdotes about its leading characters, favourite actors, music, memorable scenes and more, gleaned from international cinema, arthouse films and blockbusters alike. Readers will also discover other more technical aspects of cinema in dedicated boxes: framing, sound, special effects, and more.

Hardover non-fiction, 26 x 36 cm, 56 pages
