* The first ever biography of the most influential and possibly the most important European filmmaker of the second half of the twentieth century* Illustrated throughout* Author publicity and BFI Godard mini-season to coincide with publication
Colin MacCabe teaches at the Universities of Pittsburgh and Exeter, and works as a producer for Minerva Pictures. His most recent book is The Eloquence of the Vulgar. His most recent production is Badassss... Cinema. He worked with Godard in the '70s and '80s.
"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
