Amazon.com description: Product Description: Besson's films, Le Dernier Combat, Subway, Le Grande Bleu, Nikita, and LTon , were all made during the 1980s and 1990s. Hayward divides her study into four parts: the emerging filmmaker, Besson in context, violence as performance, and constructing subjectivity in the absence of a father and mother. Besson does not view himself as an auteur , but as a metteur en scFne . The director is characterized as a storyteller whose main characters experience difficulty in adapting to society and are prevented from achieving goals because they are in a state of dis-ease with a society that has, as he says, "unbalanced the family, creating emotional deprivation in young people up to the age of 20." No information is provided on Hayward. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
