Hello Paul, in addition to the sources already mentioned you might like to take a look at T.Jefferson Kline, Screening the Text: Intertextuality in New Wave French Cinema. Also JIll Forbes, The Cinema in France: After the New Wave, esp the chapter on Hollywood as influence and intertext. There are some interesting essays in Andrew Horton ed. Play it Again, Sam: Retakes on Remakes (though I think there is only one essay specifically dealing with french cinema, and since it's on Breathless it will be traversing the reverse direction.) Combing through Hillier's volumes of Cahiers criticism is going to yield some great stuff too. There is a short but pithy essay on the subject of 60s french cinema's appropriation of Hitchcock in Gilbert Adair's book Surfing the Zeitgeist, which might be of use as a curtain-raiser type reading. cheers laura _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Now with over 50,000 dream jobs!
