Thesis (Ph.D.)

Includes bibliographical references

This dissertation engages French-language films in the 'moraliste' tradition. The French word 'moraliste' has no exact English equivalent. It does not evoke the didactic sense of "moralist;" rather a 'moraliste' is someone who explores the inner workings of the mind, rather than the outer actions of a character. Beginning with the publication of Montaigne's Essays in 1580, 'moralistes' including Descartes, La Rochefoucauld, Pascal, and La Bruyere created moral literature -- literature concerned with personal reflections and the feelings of an individual over the dogma of good society. The emergence of film in the late nineteenth century provided a new medium for raising questions in the 'moraliste' tradition. Eric Rohmer, for example, described his Six Moral Tales as "films in which a particular feeling is analyzed and where even the characters themselves analyze their feelings and are very introspective. That's what 'conte moral' (moral tale) means."

520 $a This dissertation engages French-language films in the 'moraliste' tradition. The French word 'moraliste' has no exact English equivalent. It does not evoke the didactic sense of "moralist;" rather a 'moraliste' is someone who explores the inner workings of the mind, rather than the outer actions of a character. Beginning with the publication of Montaigne's Essays in 1580, 'moralistes' including Descartes, La Rochefoucauld, Pascal, and La Bruyere created moral literature -- literature concerned with personal reflections and the feelings of an individual over the dogma of good society. The emergence of film in the late nineteenth century provided a new medium for raising questions in the 'moraliste' tradition. Eric Rohmer, for example, described his Six Moral Tales as "films in which a particular feeling is analyzed and where even the characters themselves analyze their feelings and are very introspective. That's what 'conte moral' (moral tale) means."
520 $a I argue that the films of Bresson, Rohmer, and the Dardennes are narratively, thematically, and stylistically interrelated in their connection to the specifically French 'moraliste' tradition. I contend that these films surfaced in post-World War II France -- growing out of the deep ambiguities that existed in French society in the aftermath of occupation and liberation -- and continue to appear in the increasingly transnational landscape of contemporary European cinema. This new approach to film history offers a counterweight to the narrative of French New Wave cinema, which privileges the work of more explicitly political and experimental filmmakers such as Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.
