In pieces on fellow travelers Godard and Straub\/Huillet, on films ranging from Pasolini’s \u003ci\u003eSaló\u003c\/i\u003e to Spielberg’s \u003ci\u003eJaws\u003c\/i\u003e, and on the difference between film language and television discourse, Daney offers a definitive portrait of an era of radical hope and disappointment.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":47164774252754,"sku":"9781635901986","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/indigo-pre-prod.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/footlights-critical-notebook-19701982","provider":"Indigo Pre-Prod","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
