{"product_id":"jacques-rivette-douglas-morrey-9780719096877","title":"Jacques Rivette","description":"Jacques Rivette is perhaps the best-kept secret of French cinema. A founding figure in the New Wave, and at the centre of the *Cahiers du cin駑a* team, he developed into one of the most unusual and adventurous French directors of the last sixty years, yet his work remains little-known in comparison with his contemporaries, and this study is the first in English to look at the full span of his career. Starting with his decisively influential film criticism of the 1950s, it moves from the New Wave through the complex, experimental films of the 1970s to the challenging, playful dramas which ensured his visibility during the following two decades, and ends in the present, including Rivette's most recent films, *Histoire de Marie et Julien* (2003) and *Ne touchez pas la hache* (2007). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book takes a thematic approach, offering detailed discussion of key elements of Rivette's film world, including games, conspiracy and jealousy, as well as a study of what Rivette's cinema adds to our understanding of key theoretical concepts in Film Studies such as narrative, space and adaptation. There are many close analyses of sequences from Rivette's films including *Paris nous appartient* (1961), *C駘ine et Julie vont en bateau* (1974) and *La Belle Noiseuse* (1991).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Morrey, Alison Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719096871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719096877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.60d","brand":"Douglas Morrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947013472511,"sku":"9780719096877","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7cb71609-c26a-44ea-a1b0-2b3193d68aae.jpg?v=1681516193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jacques-rivette-douglas-morrey-9780719096877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
