{"product_id":"olivier-assayas-kent-jones-9783901644436","title":"Olivier Assayas","description":"Over the past few decades, French filmmaker Olivier Assayas has become a powerful force in contemporary cinema. Between his first feature \u003ci\u003eD sordre\u003c\/i\u003e (1986) and such major works as \u003ci\u003eL'Eau froide, Irma Vep, Les Destin es Sentimentales, demonlover\u003c\/i\u003e and, most recently, \u003ci\u003eL'Heure d' t \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCarlos\u003c\/i\u003e, he has charted an exciting path, strongly embracing narrative and character and simultaneously dealing with the 'fragmentary reality' of life in a global economy. He also brought a fresh perspective to the problem of politics after '68, a subject that he revisits in his memoir \u003ci\u003eA Post-May Adolescence\u003c\/i\u003e (published as a companion book to this volume) and in his most recent film \u003ci\u003eApr s-Mai\u003c\/i\u003e. This first English-language book about Olivier Assayas includes a major essay by Kent Jones, based on his two decades of correspondence and exchanges of ideas with the filmmaker, as well as contributions from Assayas and his most important artistic collaborators. The central part consists of individual essays on each of his works, written by Chris Chang, Larry Gross, Howard Hampton, Kristin M. Jones, B. Kite, Glenn Kenny, Michael Koresky, Alice Lovejoy, Greil Marcus, Geoffrey O'Brien, Jeff Reichert, Richard Suchenski, and Gina Telaroli.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3901644431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783901644436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austrian Film Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.60w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013","brand":"Kent Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983487992063,"sku":"9783901644436","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_505f8420-750d-4c0e-b90a-880a6b487dc1.jpg?v=1683266943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/olivier-assayas-kent-jones-9783901644436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
