In Secrecy and Scandal: Clandestine Lives and Passions in New French Film, both individuals and families struggle to cover their secret failings, confront their secret histories, exploit their secret recipes, and pursue their secret dreams. By projecting the clandestine and the mysterious onscreen, these films collectively celebrate the diversity of French families, artists, and cuisine, while challenging us to think about cultural confrontation, (trans)national (im)migration, and social integration in contemporary France.
