Unlike any earlier films, Godard's work shifts fluidly from fiction to documentary, from criticism to art. The man himself also projects shifting images--cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman. Hailed by filmmakers as a--if not the--key influence on cinema, Godard has entered the modern canon, a figure as mysterious as he is indispensable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEverything Is Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, critic Richard Brody has amassed hundreds of interviews to demystify the elusive director and his work. Paying as much attention to Godard's technical inventions as to the political forces of the postwar world, Brody traces an arc from the director's early critical writing, through his popular success with Breathless, to the grand vision of his later years. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy conservative family, his fluid politics, and his tumultuous dealings with women and fellow New Wave filmmakers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverything Is Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e confirms Godard's greatness and shows decisively that his films have left their mark on screens everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805080155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 267\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Brody","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643912876188,"sku":"9780805080155","price":39.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_868cc180-f13e-4647-b4ad-9fc406b7e442.jpg?v=1603857519","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/everything-is-cinema-the-working-life-of-jean-luc-godard-9780805080155","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
