This study will seek to determine the extent to which Louis Garrel’s leading roles are unified, not only through their personification in Louis Garrel but also through a number of central, common themes. It will be seen that the psychoanalytic notion of desire juxtaposed with those of filiation and heredity are central to the body of work in which Louis Garrel has so far performed. Particular emphasis will be laid on the manner in which the notion of ‘family’ is consequently rendered central to the development of these features from both a thematic and technical point of view. With regards to the latter aspect, the study will also seek to determine the manner in which Louis Garrel’s oeuvre is still deeply indebted, whether directly or indirectly, to the symbolic fathers of the French Nouvelle Vague.
