"Deserves the highest praise . . . MacCabe . . . does a superb job at tracing the evolution of Godard's ideas . . . excellent." --David Thomson, The Nation "Filled with a wealth of illuminating, even surprising, material." --J. Hoberman, Film Comment* "Essential for anyone deep in movie-love." --Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly "Godard emerges from this biography--the first on this elusive artist--as a character of intense, single-minded devotion to personal vision even to the point of destructiveness . . . a figure who accepts no compromise." --Dana Polan, Los Angeles Times Book Review "This is, at last, the book Godard deserves, one that does justice to the life and work of the most original filmmaker of the twentieth century. MacCabe vividly recreates the social and political turmoil of post-war France in which Godard came of age, moves fluidly from the theoretical to the personal, and captures at once the essence of the Nouvelle Vague and the particularity of individual films. A remarkable achievement." --Peter Biskind, author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls
