Abstract

Pendant la deuxième partie des années trente, la France connaît une série de soubresauts politiques considérables. Entre idéal et renoncement, le pacifisme cristallise les passions, structurant la société française en profondeur. Comment décrire le rapport des Français à la guerre? Quel rôle a joué la culture de la paix dans la débâcle? L'analyse de film peut aider à répondre à ces questions. Ce livre dévoile un pan méconnu de l'histoire du cinéma français, et apporte un éclairage nouveau sur ce moment de déliquescence républicaine, période fondamentale pour comprendre la France du XXè siècle.
