L'imaginaire feminin au cinema

Article Abstract:

A renaissance in French cinema by women has taken place in the mid-1990s. Almost two-thirds of the students admitted to French film academies are women and noted actresses such as Daniele Delorme, Isabelle Adjani and Jeanne Moreau have been active in governmental aid to French cinema. With women receiving the training and the financing to transform their creative vision into reality, this creative vision is really starting to show in French cinema. Twelve French films and Jane Campion's 'The Piano' provide the vehicles for studying this vision. The protagonists of these films are not married and they show a Medusean strength. In speaking of female silence, these films abolish such silence.
