Despite this success, Malle's work has not received the critical attention it is due--largely because for nearly thirty years, several of his films remained unavailable to the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first book-length critical study of Malle's entire oeuvre, covering \u003ci\u003eThe Silent World\u003c\/i\u003e (1956) through \u003ci\u003eVanya on 42nd Street\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). Here, Malle's work is approached non-theoretically on a film-by-film basis; each motion picture is examined as an individualistic, self-referential exploration of its own subjects and themes, with form and style relative to content. The darker, more provocative side of Malle's films is also explored, and the director's need to challenge his audiences ethically is addressed. Film analyses are supplemented by interviews with those who have worked with Malle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A bibliography of major American, French and British books and articles on Malle is included, as is a Malle filmography, including cast and crew information, running times, years of release, production company data and a list of awards and award nominations for each film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan C.
