De la Vega-Hurtado, Margarita. "A Foreigner's Gaze: The American Films of Louis Malle," American Culture Program, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, May 1993. Advisor: Herbert J. Eagle (11, 2, 14)
As a foreign auteur, Louis Malle has enriched the depiction of America generally presented on the screen by making marginal groups the center of his films, by examining the underlying ideologies that connect people to each other and to where they live, and by focusing on the American Dream as their motivating force. The dissertation is the first study which analyzes in depth Malle’s American films, including the documentaries.
