Jacques Rivette by Douglas Morrey

Jacques Rivette by Douglas Morrey

A complete survey - the first in English - of Jacques Rivette's sixty-year career in French cinema, from the New Wave to the present day. -- .

This book makes a strong case for explaining what is specific, innovative and exciting about Rivette's films, focusing on his exploration of form and the relationship of artist to audience

Smith and Morrey offer a vital defence of some of Rivette's more maligned films.

This overdue study makes for an erudite introduction and a thoroughly explanatory 'user guide' to its slightly forbidding subject.
