Riassunto

Cahiers du Cinéma was the single most influential project in the history of film. Founded in 1951, its visionary contributors—including the likes of Godard, Truffaut, Rivette, and Rohmer—would revolutionize filmmaking and writing. In this authoritative history, Emilie Bickerton explores the evolution and impact of Cahiers du Cinéma, from its early years, to its late-sixties radicalization, its internationalization, and eventual decline. A Short History of Cahiers du Cinéma is a testimony to the extraordinary legacy and archive it has provided for the world of cinema today.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Compelling - a reminder that contemporary film criticism could do with being more unapologetically clever - more ingenious, more argumentative, more French. --London Review of Books

The French New Wave directors all came from Cahiers du Cinema, a magazine that turned film criticism upside down in the 1950s. The salvoes of its sagacity are finely charted by Bickerton, who also laments the recent slide into dumbed-down mediocrity. --Nigel Andrews, Financial Times Books of the Year

Has many of the ingredients of a good thriller... Emilie Bickerton's alert prose manages to convey the drama and passionate confrontation of ideas, and she shows a keen eye for revealing detail. --Times Literary Supplement
