This is the first full-length monograph in English about one of Francersquo;s most important contemporary filmmakers; perhaps best known in the English-speaking world for his award-winning Les Roseaux sauvages/Wild Reeds of 1994. This study locates Andreacute; Teacute;chineacute; within historical and cultural contexts that include the Algerian War; May 1968 and contemporary globalisation; and the influence of Roland Barthes; Bertolt Brecht; Ingmar Bergman; William Faulkner; and the cinematic French New Wave. The originality of Teacute;chineacute;rsquo;s sixteen feature films lies in his subtle exploration of sexuality and national identity; as he challenges expectations in his depictions of gay relations; the North African dimensions of contemporary French culture; and the centre-periphery relationship between Paris and especially his native southwest. The book also looks at the collaborative nature of Teacute;chineacute;rsquo;s filmmaking; including his work with Catherine Deneuve; who has made more films with him than with any other director; and the role of Philippe Sardersquo;s musical scores.

Dont Do it YourselfBy ArtHistNerdId like to address the previous reviewer and anyone reading that review. Please dont attempt to conserve or restore a work of art yourself. Consult with a conservator who is a member of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works(AIC)if you are in the US. The AIC website has a directory of conservators which can be searched by location and specialty. In addition to developing knowledge beyond a firm foundation in art history and chemistry; conservators undergo years of training before they even enter a graduate program. It is vital to have a thorough understanding of both the materials of the artwork and how any materials applied to it will interact with them. Most often; do it yourself repairs cause more harm to the art object. After all; you wouldnt repair a herniated disk if you arent a doctor.
