Love storibeen at the heart of French cinema, but romantic comedies have, until recentlfrom it. In 2001, the global success of Amelie catalysed a major development in the Western world's second-largest film industry: the appropriation of the 'Hollywood' romantic comedy genre (or Rom-Com a l'Americaine). with Lovexplores this contemporary phenomenon, examining both local hits and films with international status. Using socio-cultural data, box-office figures and analysis of critical reception, she reveals the ways in which these films mirror shifting attitudes towards gender roles within French society, increasingly important interrelation between French national cinema and transnational filmmaking paradigms.
