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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781635901986\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCritical Notebook 1970 - 1982\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781635901986","offer_id":46927533048133,"sku":"9781635901986","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/606dfa5c-c181-4aaf-bf94-0b48d6734533.jpg?v=1779508972","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-footlights-von-serge-daney","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
