Andre Bazin's What Is Cinema? (volumes I and II) have been classics
of film studies for as long as they've been available and are
considered the gold standard in the field of film criticism.
Although Bazin made no films, his name has been one of the most
important in French cinema since World War II. He was co-founder of
the influential Cahiers du Cinema, which under his leadership
became one of the world's most distinguished publications.
Championing the films of Jean Renoir (who contributed a short
foreword to Volume I), Orson Welles, and Roberto Rossellini, he
became the protege of Francois Truffaut, who honors him touchingly
in his forword to Volume II. This new edition includes graceful
forewords to each volume by Bazin scholar and biographer Dudley
Andrew, who reconsiders Bazin and his place in contemporary film
study. The essays themselves are erudite but always accessible,
intellectual, and stimulating. As Renoir puts it, the essays of
Bazin "will survive even if the cinema does not."
