Praise for this book

This succinct volume is remarkably focused and ably succeeds in summarizing the progess of one of the most vital Euopean cinemas while still keeping and close eye on specific examples.
Rebecca H. Bauman
Resina's examination of the culminating works of this remarkably intellectual film artist is exceptionally insightful, erudite, and penetrating.
