Cinema Genre

“This is a sharp and incisive book on film genre … .Moine brings a great deal of fresh insight to her discussion of the mechanics of genre movies in this tight, ably translated little volume, which includes a deft introduction from Janet Staiger. Moine has something absolutely new to say, and her book stands out in a crowded field. It is accessible yet elegantly theoretical, and superbly written and researched. Highly recommended.” (Choice Reviews, December 2008)

"In Cinema Genre, Raphaëlle Moine achieves a rare feat - brilliantly synthesizing the rich field of Anglo-American work on genre, she both refreshes and extends it through French rigour and crystal-clear methodology. An essential read for all film scholars."
–Ginette Vincendeau, Professor of Film Studies at King's College, London
