Hi, someone was interested in gender in New Wave films. A couple of references came to mind. One was Genevieve Sellier's piece in Gender and French Cinema edited by Hughes and Williams (Berg, 2001) and another is The radical faces of Godard and Bertolucci by Yosefa Loshitzky (Wayne (?), 1995). I'm fairly sure the latter has something on gender. Genevieve Sellier and Ginette Vincendeau wrote something on similar topic in Iris no. 26, which is coincidentally the same number which contains pieces on cinephilia and masculinity by Noel Burch and Genevieve Sellier (about which someone else was, I think, asking). I have written something on the Belmondo persona and gender which is due out in 2004 or thereabouts - I have a couple of pages on A bout de souffle and the masculine and can pass this on if its any use. Ginette Vincendeau's book on Stars and stardom in French cinema must also have quite a bit that relates to gender and the New Wave. Hope that is of belated use. + MArtin O'Shaughnessy (Nottingham Trent)
