Godard. Fuller. Rivette. Endfield. Tarr. In his celebrated career
as a film critic, Jonathan Rosenbaum has undertaken wide-ranging
dialogues with many of the most daring and important auteurs of our
time. Cinematic Encounters collects more than forty years of
interviews that embrace Rosenbaum's vision of film criticism as a
collaboration involving multiple voices. Rosenbaum accompanies
Orson Welles on a journey back to Heart of Darkness, the unmade
film meant to be Welles's Hollywood debut. Jacques Tati addresses
the primacy of décor and soundtrack in his comedic masterpiece
PlayTime, while Jim Jarmusch explains the influence of real and
Hollywoodized Native Americans in Dead Man. By arranging the
chapters chronologically, Rosenbaum invites readers to pursue
thematic threads as if the discussions were dialogues between
separate interviews. The result is a rare gathering of filmmakers
trading thoughts on art and process, on great works and false
starts, and on actors and intimate moments.
