Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Miami University, French.
This thesis, written in French, tackles the emergence of banlieue cinema in France and the groundbreaking eye that it brings to bear on the complex social fabric in the liminal territory of the banlieue. The media coverage in France on the banlieues, due to very problematic filming techniques, perpetuates certain cliches. Banlieue cinema, including documentary films and fictional films, while denouncing it, tries to remedy it. Through their films, the filmmakers condemn the media’s approach to these underprivileged territories in France and respond to it by estimating the sufficient distance, as phenomenologists would do it, to properly represent the banlieues. They also answer it by using colors very well, portraying classical binaries or by completely immersing their camera and offering us a wide-scope view of the banlieue. Analyzing the cinematography of these films will help us recognize the insightful perception that banlieue cinema has brought to the topic. However, it also shows us that there is still a long way to go because the stereotypes that these films try to erase die hard in the collective unconscious.
