A Passion for Films Zusammenfassung

A Passion for Films: Henri Langlois and the Cinematheque Francaise Richard Roud

When Henri Langlois began collecting prints of films in the 1920s, most people - even many in the film industry - thought of movies as a cheap and disposable form of entertainment. Langlois recognized them as a priceless form of art and worthy of preservation. In 1935, he founded the Cinematheque Francaise, the legendary film library and screening room in Paris which Jean Renoir described as "the church for movies" and Bernardo Bertolucci called "the best school of cinema in the world". This is an analysis of Henri Langlois, his passion for films, and his contribution to film history.

A Passion for Films Bewertungen

"Richard Roud is the perfect Henri Langlois biographer."--Louise Brooks "If you're interested in film, you'll be fascinated by Henri Langlois's 'passion for films.'"--Lillian Gish "Richard Roud has written a truly great and important book that cannot fail to be considered a major contribution to film history."--Marcel Ophuls, 'American Film' "Part scholarly biography and part personal memoir...this is a good place to start learning about one of film's most charismatic figures."--'Library Journal' "'A Passion for Films' is a perfect title for Richard Roud's loving biography of Langlois...His book is also a personal memoir and a brief history of film archives and archivists. Most important, 'A Passion for Films' provides an account of how Langlois virtually single-handedly created what we call today a film culture."--Dan Isaac, 'New York Times Book Review' "The greatest value of this book is the clear outline it gives of Langlois's career and the history of film archives...Langlois was a flawed man and a curator who aired his films a little too boldly sometimes. But as Roud argues, he was a key instigator of the last great burst of creative energy in filmmaking: the New Wave. America has so poor a record in preserving its own films that the story of Langlois's efforts makes a great lesson."--David Thompson, 'New Republic'
