Reviews

?Jean-Luc Godard not only reinvented the cinema; he also challenged film viewers to become engaged cinephiles, whether in terms of politics, theory, gender, or the history of film itself. Godard?s work is and has always been provocative, and that it has remained so since the beginnings of the New Wave attests to the magnitude of the director?s achievement. Tom Conley and T. Jefferson Kline have assembled a remarkable collection, representing a wide range of perspectives on Godard?s achievement. The book is a must-read for anyone who has ever been entranced or frustrated, fascinated or enraged with Godard?s cinematic imagination.? Judith Mayne, Ohio State University In generating this superb and intellectually diverse collection of original essays, the editors have accomplished the crucial work of critics, which is to demonstrate the vast range and immense depth of a great artist?s work. Ted Perry, Middlebury College
