Marc Aug Was Eleven Or Twelve Years Old When He First Saw Casablanca. Made In 1942 But Not Released In France Until 1947, The Film Had A Profound Effect On Him. Like Cinephiles Everywhere, Aug Was Instantly Drawn To Rick Blaine'S Mysterious Past, His Friendship With Sam And Captain Renault, And Ilsa'S Stirring, Seductive Beauty. The Filmwith Its Recurring Scenes Of Waiting, Menace, And Flightoccupies A Significant Place In Aug'S Own Memory Of His Uprooted Childhood And The Wartime Exploits Of His Family.Marc Aug'S Elegant And Thoughtful Essay On Film And The Nature Of Both Personal And Collective Memory Contends That Some Of Our Most Haunting Memories Are Deeply Embedded In The Cinema. His Own Recollections Of The Hurried, Often Chaotic Embarkations Of His Childhood, He Writes, Are Become Intertwined With Scenes From Casablanca That Have Become Bigger In His Memory Through Repeated Viewings In The Movie Houses Of Paris'S Latin Quarter.Seamlessly Weaving Together Film Criticism And Memoir, Casablanca Moves Between Aug'S Insights Into The Filmgoing Experience And His Reflections On His Own Life, The Collective Trauma Of France'S Wartime History, And How Such Events As The Fall Of Paris, The Exodus Of Refugees, And The Occupationall Depicted In The Filmwere Lived And Are Remembered.
