Reviews

Albertine Fox's study of [Godard's] late films is absorbing * The New York Times * Eloquently written, with abundant evidence of exhaustive research and fastidious compilation. Its material is synthesised with commitment and care, excellently balancing both macro and micro aspects of its designated subject matter, and intuitively threading through its overarching themes whilst still giving mention to many engaging details of the minutiae pertaining to individual productions, and their respective sources of inspiration. * Alphaville Journal of Film and Screen Media * Albertine Fox's attentive and impressively informed analysis sounds forth new meanings and previously unheard compositions in Jean-Luc Godard's late films. By expertly composing, in elegant prose, a legible score through which to apprehend Godard's most complicated works, she provides a double intervention in both film and sound studies. * Nora M. Alter, Temple University, USA; author of The Essay Film After Fact and Fiction * In this meticulously researched and fascinating study, Albertine Fox acknowledges the aural as much as the visual within Godard's post-1979 films. She shines new light on both domains, and sends us back to his films with our eyes and ears well and truly opened. * Ben McCann, University of Adelaide, Australia; author of Julien Duvivier * There will come a time when we understand how much Jean-Luc Godard revolutionized, not only the cinema, but also literature, the visual arts, and our way of practising politics. Thanks to Albertine Fox's brilliant research, we are better able to see how deeply Godard's films renew what we understand by composition, what we believe about music, and what the acoustic experience consists of. * Nicole Brenez, Universite Sorbonne Nouvelle / Cinematheque Francaise *
