- English abstract
- This article examines the portrayal of violence in French cinema. It shows how and why a number of French directors, whose work has been labelled as New French Extremism (Catherine Breillat, Claire Denis, Gaspar Noé, Bruno Dumont), have depicted violence in an extreme way since the beginning of the twenty-first century. If this trend of violence in films is an important feature in the French context, the purpose of this article is to demonstrate that some recent films combat images of violence and thus offer an innovative perspective on the banlieue (suburbs) and war.
