| Summary: | This collection of essays and interviews, ranging from Godard's early efforts for La Gazette du Cinema to his later writings for Cahiers du Cinema, reflects his dazzling intelligence, biting wit, maddening judgments and complete unpredictability. In writing about Hitchcock, Welles, Bergman, Truffaut, Bresson and Renoir, Godard is also writing about himself, his own experiments, obsessions and discoveries. This book offers evidence that he may be even more original as a thinker about film than as a director. Covering the period 1950-1967, this book of writings is an important document and a fascinating study of a vital stage in Godard's career. |
