Phil Powrie's exciting new study of French Cinema in the 1980s focuses on the crisis of masculinity in contemporary French culture, and its interrelationship with nostalgia. Films studied in detail include Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, Coup de foudre, Vivement dimanche!, La Vie est un long fleuve tranquille, and Tenue de soir�e, while the volume covers actors from G�rard Depardieu, Daniel Auteuil, and Yves Montand to Isabelle Adjani, Isabelle Huppert, and Emmanuelle B�art. The book is divided into sections on the retro-nostalgic film, the polar, or police thriller, and the comic film. Each section begins with a brief preface which highlights the major issues for the genre during the 1980s.

French cinema in the 1980s
So maybe it wasn't a book that I picked up on my own from a bookstore. But so what that I had to read it for Anthropological Theory class? I loved it!
This book is education, yes; but at the same time, Lancaster's quirky sense of humor makes it much more fun than your average "I-was-assigned-to-read-this-book-so-shoot-me-now" required reading material. I particularly enjoyed the sections dealing with the "science" of homosexuality. Lancaster makes it clear that he does not "believe in" a "gay gene" or a "gay brain", but rather enculturation processes that may make men more "feminine" and women more "masculine" as described by their cultures.
