Books by Christophe Wall-Romana

This is the first comprehensive study of Jean Epstein's fiction and documentary films, film theory, and writings on poetry and homosexuality. The book unfolds the intellectual trajectory of Epstein and restores him to the limelight of interwar world cinema, on a par with Renoir, Lang, Capra and Eisenstein. -- .
