This dissertation is a study of the films of Claude Lelouch. It presents Lelouch as a filmmaker working between two traditions:? The popular tradition of easily accessible comedies and melodramas and the experimental-critical tradition of the French. New Wave.

He uses such modern devices as complex narrative structures and the mixture of genres within. A single film but he, does not desert the popular cinema "s emphasis on storytelling and emotion.The dissertation traces Lelouch "s development from his early experiences in marginal areas of film production (amateur. Films documentaries Scopitones,,,, commercials low budget features) to the great success of A Man and a Woman and his career. As a leading director of features. Four main periods of Lelouch "s work are discussed: the apprenticeship, of 1960-65 the. Subjective films of 1966-69 the crime, films of 1970-73 and the, moralizing genre films of 1974-77.

Lelouch uses irony here. To combine upbeat adventure with overtones of social satire. His later genre films (Cat and Mouse; The Good and the Bad;? Si C "Etait a Refaire; Another, Man Another Chance), though nicely crafted are sometimes, simplistic and complacement in. Their ideas.Lelouch is in many ways an, excellent filmmaker but he has not consistently achieved a synthesis of the artistic and the. ,, popular or as he, puts it the "noble and the generous." "
