Pour composer cet ouvrage, Richard A. Harris et Michael Lassky ont, avec passion et minutie, decortique chacun de ses films, les illustrant de nombreuses photographies, souvent tres rares. Cette edition francaise, enrichie d'une captivante preface de Guy Teisseire, fervent admirateur du «Maitre», et de nombreux extraits critiques de la presse francaise de l'epoque (signes Chabrol, Godard, Truffaut, Rivette, etc.), est donc un ouvrage de reference indispensable a tous les amoureux du cinema
