- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: Focusing specifically on Jacques Prévert's screenplays for Jean Renoir ( Le Crime de M. Lange ) and Marcel Carné ( Drôle de drame and Les Enfants du paradis ), this essay explores the legacy of the Surrealist Movement—particularly Georges Bataille's advocacy of amour fou and the informe —on the French political left's difficulties in generating a viable politics of collective resistance during the period of the Popular Front and the immediate aftermath of Vichy defeatism.
