"In Colonial Cinema and Imperial France, 1919-1939, David Henry Slavin uses such key colonial-era films as L'Atlantide (1921; remade in 1932) and Pepe le Moko (1937) to document how the French cinema reflected the changing policies and values of French colonialism in the interwar period. Slavin is most interested in the "blind spots" within these films, the avoidance or denial of colonial realities that becomes apparent when sound-era remakes are compared with their original silent versions.
The reworking of history and the interplay of history and memory evident in this process still hinder France's ability to confront the legacy of its colonial past."--BOOK JACKET.
