The most famous name in French literary circles from the late 1950s
till his death in 1981, Roland Barthes maintained a contradictory
rapport with the cinema. As a cultural critic, he warned of its
surreptitious ability to lead the enthralled spectator toward an
acceptance of a pre-given world. As a leftist, he understood that
spectacle could be turned against itself and provoke deep
questioning of that pre-given world. And as an extraordinarily
sensitive human being, he relished the beauty of images and the
community they could bring together.
