Description: Traces the career - both filmic and extra-filmic - of one France's enigmatic and emblematic film stars. This book investigates a star persona that is particularly ambiguous and apparently contradictory: purity and sexuality; bourgeois and dissident; public and private.
Synopsis: Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded.The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies. -- .
