by the late Alexander Sesonske, film studies professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, author of Jean Renoir: The French Films, 1924-1939.


Also in Criterion:

  1. Love your posts, especially your previous writing on Bela Tarr and the long take. I’m writing from Penny-Ante Editions, a small literary press in Los Angeles. We’re about to publish Damnation, a book inspired by Bela Tarr’s work. I think that this book would be up your alley.
    Here’s a link to the book http://www.penny-ante.net/pa013.html

    please email me at sales@pennyante.net if you’d like a review copy. Thanks for your consideration!
