I like a good movie.
It was a great privilege to guest-edit this themed double-issue of French Screen Studies, which reassesses misunderstood directors behind the “Tradition of Quality” (1945–60). Massive thanks to all the contributors and the Chief General Editors:

For this new article in "French Screen Studies", it was a pleasure to take a closer look at one of my favourite directors, the underrated Christian-Jaque, whose films are steeped in European border politics and reflect on wars past and yet to come. doi.org/10.1080/2643...
