“Filled with a wealth of illuminating, even surprising, material.”—J. Hoberman, Film Comment

Drawing on his own working experience with Godard and his coterie, Colin MacCabe, in this first biography of the director, has written a thrilling account of the French cinema's transformation in the hands of Truffaut, Rohmer, Rivette, and Chabrol—critics who toppled the old aesthetics by becoming, legendarily, directors themselves—and Godard's determination to make cinema the greatest of the arts.
