CINEMA: 70 YEARS OF CULTURAL AND CINEMATOGRAPHIC AGITATION

In 1954, the year of the creation of FNAC and the opening of the first store on Boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris, cinema screens offered the public westerns that had become legendary (Vera Cruz, Johnny Guitare, River of No Return), the one of the most famous feature films made by the master Alfred Hitchcock (Rear Window) and adventure films for all audiences. Rock fever has reached America and, to tell the truth, it is undoubtedly the best time to induct new generational stars such as Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. At the same time in France, the charisma of Jean Gabin dominates all cinema. Then the films transformed as society changed. Seventy years is the time needed to see the appearance in the landscape of phenomena that will take everything away: the New Wave which fits so well with the insurrectional tone of May 68, the New Hollywood and its desire to transform the outsiders first. role, the real blockbusters in the eighties with Tom Cruise's white teeth, the return to the alternative from the nineties, feminism which finally arrived in cinemas… And on the technologically, who could have predicted the wave of DVD and home cinema? Among the most famous slogans of the FNAC is that of “cultural agitator since 1954”. FNAC has changed a lot during its seventy years of existence (1954-2024) and it is possible to rewind this saga of cultural agitation by keeping our eyes wide open in this dialogue between cinema and society.
