The Catholic Critic: Andr� Bazin on Hollywood Movies, 1945-1958 - Volume 2

By André Bazin

Andr Bazin (1918-58) is credited with being the spiritual father of the French New Wave. Among those who came under his tutelage were four who would go on to become the most renowned directors of the postwar French cinema: Fran ois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, and Claude Chabrol.Volume 2 of The Catholic Critic: Andr Bazin on Hollywood Movies, 1945-1958 contains, for the first time in English, much of Bazin's penetrating writing on American cinema: on such subjects as Hollywood, the western, Technicolor, the crime film, and "foreign figures" (North American movies that, in some cases Queen Christina], are set in foreign countries, and in other cases take place in no apparent or identifiable country at all Rythmetic]).Volume 2 of Andr Bazin on Hollywood Movies, 1945-1958 also features a sizable scholarly apparatus, including a complete bibliography of Bazin's articles on American cinema, credits of the films discussed as well as filmographies of their directors, and an extensive index. This collection is aimed, as Bazin himself would want, not only at scholars, teachers, and critics of film, but also at educated or cultivated moviegoers and students of the cinema at all levels.
