Jean-Luc Godard's early films revolutionized the language of
cinema. Hugely prolific in his first decade--"Breathless, Contempt,
Pierrot le Fou, Alphaville," and" Made in USA "are just a handful
of the seminal works he directed--Godard introduced filmgoers to
the generation of stars associated with the trumpeted sexuality of
postwar movies and culture: Brigitte Bardot, Jean Seberg, Jean-Paul
Belmondo, and Anna Karina. As the sixties wore on, however,
Godard's life was transformed. The Hollywood he had idolized began
to disgust him, and in the midst of the socialist ferment in France
his second wife introduced him to the activist student left. From
1968 to 1972, Europe's greatest director worked in the service of
Maoist politics, and continued thereafter to experiment on the far
peripheries of the medium he had transformed. His extraordinary
later works are little seen or appreciated, yet he remains one of
Europe's most influential artists.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.
