Cahiers du Cinema: Interviews with Film Directors, 19531970 brings
together eighteen directorsOtto Preminger, Roberto Rossellini, John
Ford, Howard Hawks, Max Ophuls, Nicholas Ray, Orson Welles, Fritz
Lang, Alain Resnais, Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut,
Michelangelo Antonioni, Carl-Theodor Dreyer, Federico Fellini,
Robert Bresson, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Jean Renoir, and Eric Rohmer
-- who are among the leading auteurs in the history of the cinema.
The interviews were all commissioned for the legendary movie
journal Cahiers du Cinema (the oldest such French-language magazine
in continuous publication), the first critical enterprise to treat
films, particularly Hollywood films, as a serious art form.
Co-founded in 1951 by Andre Bazin, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, and
Joseph-Marie Lo Duca, Cahiers was edited, after 1957, by Rohmer
himself, including among its writers (and interviewers) Jacques
Rivette, Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Truffaut -- all of whom went
on to become highly influential filmmakers. Conducted in Cahiers
famously in-depth, critical and engaged style, the interviews in
this volume catch each director at a crucial juncture in his
development as an artist, and stand as a historical record of the
dominance of the Euro-American tradition in cinematic art. This is
the first such collection of its kind in English, edited with a
contextualizing introduction, critical biographies, career
filmographies, and a comprehensive index by the American scholar
James R. Russo.
