Hollywood in the French movie clubs, Emmanuelle Loyer.
Starting from a precise analysis of Ciné-Club, the magazine of the French federation of movie clubs, it is easy to discern the assumptions of the vigorously anti-American discourse that prevailed in the French movie clubs after Liberation. Hollywood was the dream factory , its cinema a frivolous weapon of the cold war. But reverence unto the great American moviemakers, Chaplin, Welles, or Griffth, partly ruined this polemic set of arguments. Many weaknesses in the French cinema were revealed by obstinate debating about the Amercan cinema.
