Les Comédies romantiques — Marianne Levy, 2023, illustrated edition

Romantic comedy is cinema’s most underestimated genre. Marianne Levy revisits more than 100 cult films—from When Harry Met Sally to Notting Hill—through nine defining narrative beats, mapping the mechanics of desire, timing and happy endings. Richly illustrated and sharply argued, the book treats the rom-com as cultural barometer, revealing how love stories reflect shifting gender roles and fantasies. A large-format, image-driven survey that takes popular cinema seriously.
