30 January 2014, dusan

Cahiers du Cinéma [Notebooks on Cinema] is an influential French film magazine founded in 1951 by André Bazin, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca. It developed from the earlier magazine Revue du Cinéma involving members of two Paris film clubs—Objectif 49 (Robert Bresson, Jean Cocteau and Alexandre Astruc, among others) and Ciné-Club du Quartier Latin. Initially edited by Éric Rohmer, it included amongst its writers Jacques Rivette, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut. (from Wikipedia)

    Glad to see these issues in English here. Are the other issues available in English?

    These were published as a distinct series; translations of selected texts from the issues in French appeared in the anthology (above as well).

    Ah, this morning I felt like I found a treasure in my attic when I saw this collection. Thank you very very much, they are mind blowing.
