The Butterfly Garden

The title of this guide book was thought up by a group of friends who were lamenting the sad fact of the poorly educated male in the romance department. Even at the sophisticated age of 50+ most men are clueless in how to successfully court and woo a woman. We discussed all the commonsense things men could do to make themselves more appealing. On the bottom of the list was sex. Because sex would not even be on the agenda if the man was boorish in behavior. However, if he was thoughtful, kind, attentive and unselfish, the direction of the relationship would be a completely different story. Therefore the goal of this book is to make both men and women happy, and to enjoy sex as the frosting on the cake in a meaningful relationship.

Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world’s most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent’s muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve’s status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.

From Perversion to Purity

The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.
