Summary: Cahiers du Cinema is a prestigious and influential French film journal. The selections in this volume are drawn from the colorful first decade of Cahiers, 1951-59, when a group of young iconoclasts rocked the world of film criticism with their provocative views on international cinema--American, Italian, and French in particular. They challenged long-established Anglo-Saxon attitudes by championing American popular movies, addressing genres such as the Western and the thriller, analyzing the aesthetics of technological developments like cinemascope, and emphasizing mise en scene as much as thematic content. They assessed the work of individual filmmakers such as Hawks, Hitchcock, and Nicholas Ray in terms of the director as author or auteur, a revolutionary concept at the time.
