  In "Past
Forward: French Cinema and the Post-Colonial Heritage," author Dayna Oscherwitz focuses on the world of French films
with a new lens. Drawing upon a wealth of research and the examination of popular French movies, Oscherwitz offers fresh
perspectives not only on the unique importance of motion pictures and their indelible influence on French character, but
on current debates regarding individual and collective memory. " Past Forward" traces the development and ascension of
the French heritage film--those historical and costume dramas focusing on prestigious French subjects, events, and
settings. These motion pictures, preeminent during a period of globalization and fear over the affects of immigration in
1980s France, quickly came to embody a specific version of French national and collective identity: one that idealized
the past, condemned the present, and created an institutional form of memory. Oscherwitz presents the intriguing notion
that French heritage films are not exclusively expressions of nationalism and nostalgia as has commonly been asserted.
On the contrary, although these movies were born out of a perceived loss of French culture, their ambivalence toward
traditional hallmarks of nationalism opens them up to new interpretation. Also in contrast to typical conceptions, the
author suggests that these heritage films are far from cinematic bastions of multicultural backlash; instead, she
argues, popular culture has in its own fashion reinserted the history of colonialism and immigration into the national
past, thus reimagining heritage itself. Against this backdrop, Oscherwitz goes on to investigate the multicultural
worlds of "beur" and "banlieue" movies--cinema seemingly in direct contrast with the heritage film--offering the theory
that these films serve as a "countermemory" to an institutionalized one and provide alternative models of collective
memory and identity. Through careful analysis of several examples, Oscherwitz demonstrates how these two seemingly
different realms--heritage and multicultural cinema--are far from mutually exclusive in the construction of French
identity. Throughout the volume, numerous well-known French movies are reexamined, inviting new interpretations of and
challenging old views through investigations of familiar cinematic works. "Past Forward "is a" "revolutionary volume
that boldly reimagines our ideas about French film and its role in communicating history and memory.
