While discourse surrounding intermedial artistic practice may include discussion of France, or studies of Francophone directors may discuss artistic influence, there have historically been very few English-language books on the topic firmly rooted within a French context, with Jefferson Kline’s Screening the Text: Intertextuality in New Wave French Cinema (1992) a notable exception. However, the last three years have seen a surge in publications interested in French art’s intertextuality, including Agnès Varda between Film, Photography, and Art (DeRoo 2017), Music in Contemporary French Cinema: The Crystal-Song (Powrie 2017), Paris in the Cinema: Beyond the Flâneur (Phillips and Vincendeau 2018), Intermedial Dialogues: The French New Wave and the Other Arts (Schmid 2019) and French Literature on Screen (Pettey and Palmer 2019), as well as the forthcoming The History of French Literature on Film (Griffiths and Watts, forthcoming). The two most recently published books – both in June 2019 – are the focus of this article.
