(volumes I and II) have been classics of film studies for as long as they've been available and are considered the gold standard in the field of film criticism. Although Bazin made no films, his name has been one of the most important in French cinema since World War II. He was co-founder of the influential Cahiers du Cinéma, which under his leadership became one of the world's most distinguished publications. Championing the films of Jean Renoir (who contributed a short foreword to Volume I), Orson Welles, and Roberto Rossellini, he became the protégé of François Truffaut, who honors him touchingly in his foreword to Volume II. This new edition includes graceful forewords to each volume by Bazin scholar and biographer Dudley Andrew, who reconsiders Bazin and his place in contemporary film study. The essays themselves are erudite but always accessible, intellectual, and stimulating. As Renoir puts it, the essays of Bazin "will survive even if the cinema does not."Motion picturesPerforming artsaesthetics.andre bazin.art criticism.cahiers du cinema.charlie chaplin.cinema.cinematography.cultural studies.digital film.drama.film and art.film and media.film criticism.film history.film movements.film studies.film theory.film.filmmaking.flim.french cinema.image culture.jean renoir.media.mixed cinema.montage.movies.narrative.neorealism.nonfiction.orson welles.performing arts.photography.roberto rossellini.sartre.sound cinema.technology.theater.total cinema.truffaut.visual culture.Motion pictures.Performing arts.791.43Bazin André1918-1958.382106Andrew Dudley1945-532928Gray Hugh1900-1981.1012984Renoir Jean1894-1979.215422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809778903321What is cinema2371966UNINA
