Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Sterritt's book provides just the guidance that a curious but less-than-full-time filmgoer will need in approaching this difficult, unpopular and absolutely essential body of work." The Nation


Product Description

In this study, David Sterritt offers an introductory overview of Godard's work as a filmmaker, critic, and video artist. In subsequent chapters, he traces Godard's visionary ideas through six of his key films, including Breathless, My Life to Live, Weekend, Numéro deux, Hail Mary, and Nouvelle vague. Also included is a concise analysis of Godard's work in video, television, and mixed-media formats. Linking Godard's works to key social and cultural developments, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard explains their importance in modernist and postmodernist art of the past half century.

5.0 out of 5 stars tough to go through but very rewarding !, June 27, 2007
By F. A. Lage Filho (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Godard is a hard nut to crack open and dissect his aims and thoughts.
I think Mr. Sterritt has accomplished all that.
Sometimes (the last two chapters) it's hard to proceed when the text is hard to grasp, but eventually after a couple of reviews one finally gets it (I think). Anyway it's a very rewarding experience !
