Cahiers du Cinema - Volume 4

<p>Since its foundation in 1951 the French film journal <em>Cahiers du Cin - perhaps the most influential and probably the most interesting film journal ever published - has been a major source of ideas and controversy within film criticism and film-making. The fourth volume in this influential series of anthologies covers the vibrant and turbulent period from 1973 to 1978 in which the editorial make-up and policy of the journal changed radically and issues of theory history and politics dominated critical debate.<br>The anthology combines essays by critics such as Pascal Bonitzer Serge Daney and Th<em>ese Giraud; round-table discussions; reviews of contemporary films from Star Wars</em> and <em>King Kong</em> to <em>Padre Padrone</em> and <em>Jeanne Dielman</em>; and interviews with leading theorists including Marc Ferro and Michel Foucault presenting a rich sampler of Cahiers' provocative and indispensable contribution to debates in film and cultural politics.</em></p>
