Description de l'ouvrage :
Examines the diverse oeuvre of internationally recognized French-Algerian director Rachid Bouchareb
• Devotes attention to Bouchareb’s under-explored films, including the Oscar- nominated Poussières de vie/Dust of Life (1994), those shot in English, and recent made-for- television films
• Offers an interdisciplinary approach to Bouchareb’s work, drawing on gender studies, cinema studies, French and francophone studies, Islamic studies, and history, among others
• Highlights connections between Bouchareb’s diverse films while offering a broader exploration of the arc of the director’s career
• Considers Bouchareb in the context of new critical explorations of cinéma-monde as a global auteur whose work – in French, English and beyond – extends beyond the narrow French national context

ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb is the first book-length study of the internationally recognized director’s films. Bouchareb was one of France’s first filmmakers of North African descent and his career as a director and producer now spans over 35 years. Remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements and narrative settings, Bouchareb’s work has engaged with and reflected on a variety of crucial social, political and historical issues; from the role of colonial troops in the French army during the Second World War, to terrorism in contemporary Europe. This volume examines Bouchareb’s films from an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring key influences on his output and considering new theoretical approaches to his filmmaking.

Revue de Presse :
This remarkable volume offers a necessary study on a filmmaker whose name is firmly established in the French cinematic landscape, while bringing into light new perspectives to approach his work, as well as his lesser-studied films. The reader will also appreciate the engagement with aspects — beyond his film corpus — involved in filmmaking, namely the production, distribution, and reception of his work. While the collection focuses on Bouchareb, this volume will be useful as an analytical tool to study other filmmakers.– Siham Bouamer, Sam Houston State University, French Studies, 2021

With this politically astute, wide-ranging collection, Bouchareb finally gets his critical due. He is revealed brilliantly as a pivotal figure in French cinema reinvesting genres to challenge the official scripts of colonial history and immigration, as well as ethnic conflict and terrorism, and promote a more inclusive national identity.– Professor James S. Williams, Royal Holloway, University of London
