New Realism, Powrie states, “refers less to a defined movement in French cinema sharing a political agenda, and more to a diverse group of film-makers who effected a re-engagement with sociopolitical subject matter” (16). While the resurgence of a “ cinema des producteurs“ 1 and the development of the highly popular “ film d’action” genre (Higbee 298) dominated the landscape of French mainstream cinema in the 1990s, the decade also witnessed the re-emergence of a politically committed, or what Powrie terms “New Realist” French cinema.
