Abstract: The text discusses two books by Noël Burch and Geneviève Sellier, focusing on gender, popular cinema, and cinephilia in French film studies. Burch's autobiography reflects on his life, film theory, and changing perspectives on cinema, while Sellier's book explores gendered reception in a popular film magazine, revealing insights into popular French cinema of the post-war period. Both books contribute to a broader examination of popular French cinema through a gender analysis, emphasizing the importance of adopting an emotionally charged approach to film studies.
