Bertrand Tavernier (b. 1941) is widely considered to be the leading
light in a generation of French filmmakers who launched their
careers in the 1970s, in the wake of the New Wave. In just over
forty years, he has directed twenty-two feature films in an
eclectic range of genres, from intimate family portrait to
historical drama and neo-Western. Beginning with his debut
feature--L'Horloger de Saint-Paul (1974), which won the prestigious
Louis Delluc prize--Tavernier has shown himself to be a public
intellectual. Like his films, he is deeply engaged with the
pressing issues facing France and the world: the consequences of
war, colonialism and its continuing aftermath, the price of
heroism, and the power of art. A voracious cinephile, he is
immensely knowledgeable about world cinema and American film in
particular. Tavernier's roots are in Lyon, the birthplace of the
cinema. He founded and presides over the Institut Lumiere, which
hosts retrospectives and an annual film festival in the factory
where the Lumiere brothers made the first films. In this
collection, containing numerous interviews translated from French
and available in English for the first time, he discusses the arc
of his career following in the lineage of the Lumiere brothers, in
that his goal, like theirs, is to ""show the world to the world.""
It is no surprise, then, that an interview with Tavernier is a
treat. Beginning with discussions of his own films, the interviews
in this volume cover a vast range of topics. At the core are his
thoughts about the ways cinema can inspire the imagination and
contribute to the broadest possible public conversation.
