Reviews
French Language Road Cinema is a thoughtful, timely and exciting book. The wealth of European film analyses it offers is notable in its attention to underexplored women's road cinema, Belgian and Swiss productions as well as in its care to delineate opposing meanings of mobility for different European residents. The book reveals a nuanced approach to road film as a form that makes its spectators consider the complexity of identity, mobility and borders in today's Europe, offering an indispensable trans-disciplinary guide for researchers in European film and mobility studies. -- Ipek Celik Rappas, LSE Review of Books
