Product description

Review

Emilie Bickerton's alert prose manages to convey to the drama and passionate confrontations of ideas, and she shows a keen eye for revealing detail. -- Ramona Fotiade, TLS 'The French New Wave directors all came from Cahiers du Cinéma, a magazine that turned film criticism upside down in the 1950s. The salvoes of its sagacity are finely charted by Bickerton, who also laments the recent slide into dumbed-down mediocrity.' --Nigel Andrews, Financial Times Books of the Year

Bickerton has done a valuable and highly informative job. --Philip French, Observer

What I love is Bickerton's certainty and courage. She s stepping here into the viperous pit of French intellectual life like a mongoose with a mission. --Nick James, Sight & Sound
