Richard Roud's Godard, first published in 1967 as 'Number One' in
the seminal Cinema One series, was the first monograph on the great
film-maker to be published in English, and one that reveals a
unique intimacy between the author and his subject. Roud's
provocative and far-reaching analysis shows an intuitive
understanding of the aesthetic, intellectual and political context
in which Godard worked, paying particular attention to his
'political' cinema, including the ferocious masterpiece Weekend
(1967). In his foreword to this reissue, Michael Temple provides an
overview of film criticism on Godard, arguing that, more than forty
years since its publication, Roud's book remains at the forefront
of writings on the director. Temple pinpoints how Roud was uniquely
placed as a contemporary of Godard's to follow the film-maker's
career from one explosive film to the next, charting the course of
the Godardian star even as Roud's own career as a critic and
festival programmer was unfolding. He contends that Roud's study
was 'a pure product - and a faithful reflection - of a certain
tendency in British film culture at the end of the 1960s:
cinephile, progressive, European, intellectual, metropolitan.' For
Temple, Roud's work remains a lucid summary of what Godard had
already achieved by the end of the 1960s, and provides a suggestive
model of cultural criticism with which to approach subsequent
aspects of Godard's multimedia artistic adventure.
