Traveling in French Cinema cover

Travel narratives abound in French cinema since the 1980s. This study delineates recurrent travel tropes in films such as departures and returns, the chase, the escape, nomadic wandering, interior voyages, the unlikely travel, rituals, pilgrimages, migrants' narratives and emergencies, women's travel, and healing narratives.

“Blum-Reid provides a succinct bibliography supplemented by an impressive filmography that lists seventy-eight directors. Her welcome resource spans cultural studies, ethnography, film studies, gender studies, philosophy, semiotics, tourism studies, and travel writing.” (Anne Cirella-Urrutia, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature STTCL, Vol. 42 (2), June, 2018)
