Reviews

[Toby Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though not all of the essays are equal in their readability and engagement, there is a lot of insight here into the later works of Godard, all his really interesting stuff (Every Man For Himself, Hail Mary, Histoire(s) du cinema, etc.) that I like.

This book offers numerous perspectives on his films, and on his person, that are bound to get you thinking.
