With films like Breathless, Pierrot le Fou, Alphaville and Made in USA, Jean-Luc Godard revolutionized the language of cinema. Colin MacCabe, drawing on his own working experience with Godard and his coterie, has written an incisive account not only of Godard's life but of French cinema's thrilling transformation in the hands of Truffaut, Rohmer, Rivette, and Chabrol - critics who toppled the old aesthetics by becoming, legendarily, directors themselves - and Godard's determination to make cinema the greatest of the arts.
