Description
This is the first English translation of this groundbreaking work, first published in France in 1970. The author presents a sweeping vision of the cinema based upon reviews of French film comedy plays written over a span of decades, with unifying notes and imaginary dialogue with himself across time. Mixing personal memories with critical perception and aesthetics, Clair discusses the making of works from the birth of sound through 1970. Edited and with introduction by R.C. Dale.
