Publisher's Synopsis
Intervening at the crossroads of philosophy, politics, and cinema, this book argues that the career of Robert Gu�diguian, director of Marius et Jeannette (1997) and other popular auteurist films, can be read as an original and coherent project: to make a committed, historically-conscious cinema with friends, in a local space, and over a long period of time. Illustrated with comprehensive readings of all of Gu�diguian's films.
