""Assembly Lines provides a generative theorization of montage in postwar France, exploring how the technique became a key method for reflecting on the past, agitating the present, and deciphering the future. Beautifully written and lucidly argued, this book is an absolute pleasure to think alongside and a valuable contribution to the field.""—James Leo Cahill, author of Zoological Surrealism: The Nonhuman Cinema of Jean Painlevé ""Postwar French documentary has long been recognized as a high point in film history. Focusing on the work of Nicole Védrès, Alain Resnais, and Chris Marker, Ivan Cerecina draws fresh and compelling connections between documentary film, art, and politics. The compilation film, he reveals, constitutes a powerful historiography, one that shaped our thinking about the Cold War, colonialism, and World War II.""—Kelley Conway, University of Wisconsin–Madison
