Summary

"André Bazin is credited with almost single-handedly establishing the study of film as an accepted intellectual pursuit. Bazin's French Cinema from the Liberation to the New Wave, 1945-1958 contains, for the first time in English, nearly all of his writings about the practitioners as well as the predecessors of the French New Wave, a movement that had a profound impact on the evolution of cinematic style and subject matter during the post World War II period." -- P. [4] cover.
