Godard

by Richard Roud

Overview

Richard Roud's seminal study of the director Jean-Luc Godard places the director in the context of modern European cinema, on which Godard's work has been hugely influential, and considers Godard's 'political' cinema, including the ferocious masterpiece 'Weekend'.  This new edition includes an introduction by Michael Temple.
