Les Revenant and representation

- Represents older audience
- Her outfit is quite smart showing her matureness compared to other characters
- Looks more happy than the other










- Represents young teen girls
- She has been casted as she looks young yet the actor herself is 18
- Target audience of french teens can relate to her
- She is quite covered up and smartly dressed for a teenager so an atypical representation so binary opposition from who she is to the way she looks
- No make up make up look so she looks very natural
- Binary opposition between Camille and the background
- Camille is a complex representation
- Her complicated character is represented in the complicated narrative



- Represents parents and a grieving mother
- plain simple clothes suggesting she doesn't take care of her appearance also relating to the grieving mother
- stereotypical aspirational middle class mother
- Appeal to heterosexual middle aged men in France
- Middle age women will aspire to be her









-Represents young rebellious late teens
- Facial expression, dark hair
- Look stereotypically french as it is aimed at a french audience
-








- These images were not taking from the actual show but are constructions of the characters

John Berger - He argued that men act and women appear 
- Women appear for the heterosexual male audience


- Appeals to a 30 something audience
- Attractive from a French perspective
- Hair is tied up yet messy which suggests she is not invested in her appearance













- The cast represent typical rural French life, the setting suggests this
- Atypical setting for an international audience (typical would be set in Paris)
- The cast universally looks very French
- They are all white as this is going for a white middle class audience





Themes and alligorical perspectives of Les Revenants
- Important so people can relate to the show
- Les revenant is about death and how people deal with it
- Camille's mum deals with denial
- Abjection- to have something cut off - so Les revenants deals with abjection
- Death, loss and grieving isn't something we talk about and that we need to grieve so the show takes away that aspect
