Cahiers’ turn to Marxism in the wake of May 1968 marks one of the major turning points in the tumultuous history of the journal, but this transformation was preceded by an equally important shift in orientation earlier in the decade, one which in many ways ushered in its subsequent radicalisation. 1963 saw the notorious “putsch” against Rohmer, who...
Having firmly established the new critical orientation of Cahiers, Rivette did not stay long as editor, a role which he had always seen as transitional: by 1965 he passed the baton onto Comolli, as work on filming Diderot’s La Religieuse consumed his attentions.

Nov 15, 2019 · Like a young provincial newcomer who discovers cinema’s silent masterpieces for the first time in Paris, Rivette tried his hand at film criticism in the early months of 1950 in Bulletin du ciné - club du Quartier Latin, a small journal which became a supplement to the Cinema-Club animated by Rohmer and his former student Frédéric Froeschel (Arma...
