Abstract

While the trend for historical subjects in 1970s French cinema is often remembered in terms of la mode rétro, defined by an obsessional fixation on the Occupation, this article examines films that revisit two polarizing scandals during the explosive final years of the Third Republic. Alain Resnais's Stavisky (1974) recounts the mysterious death of a swindler that triggered a political crisis, leading to the violent street protests of February 6, 1934; Claude Chabrol's Violette Nozière (1978) dramatizes a famous case of parricide in 1933 that became a national obsession, pitting adherents of conservative bourgeois values against opponents of tradition and patriarchy. Rather than investigate the “myth” of resistance under Vichy, these films explore the fault lines of the bitter divide between Right and Left, recasting the prewar narrative through the prism of the 1970s to interrogate the legacies of fascism and the political stakes of interpreting history.
复古愿景
虽然20世纪70年代法国电影中历史题材的趋势经常被人们以对占领的痴迷所定义的la mode rétro来记忆,但本文考察了在第三共和国爆炸性的最后几年里,重温两起两极分化丑闻的电影。Alain Resnais的《Stavisky》(1974)讲述了一个骗子的神秘死亡,引发了一场政治危机,导致1934年2月6日的街头暴力抗议;克劳德·夏布罗尔(Claude Chabrol。这些电影没有调查维希统治下的抵抗“神话”,而是探索了右翼和左翼之间激烈分歧的断层线,通过20世纪70年代的棱镜重新塑造了战前的叙事,以质疑法西斯主义的遗产和解释历史的政治利害关系。
