Описание:
A "serious-minded and meticulously detailed . . . account of the lifelong artistic journey" of one of the most influential filmmakers of our age ("The New York Times")
When Jean-Luc Godard wed the ideals of filmmaking to the realities of autobiography and current events, he changed the nature of cinema. Unlike any earlier films, Godard's work shifts fluidly from fiction to documentary, from criticism to art. The man himself also projects shifting images cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman. Hailed by filmmakers as a if not the key influence on cinema, Godard has entered the modern canon, a figure as mysterious as he is indispensable.
In "Everything Is Cinema," critic Richard Brody has amassed hundreds of interviews to demystify the elusive director and his work. Paying as much attention to Godard's technical inventions as to the political forces of the postwar world, Brody traces an arc from the director's early critical writing, through his popular success with Breathless, to the grand vision of his later years. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy conservative family, his fluid politics, and his tumultuous dealings with women and fellow New Wave filmmakers.
"Everything Is Cinema" confirms Godard's greatness and shows decisively that his films have left their mark on screens everywhere."

Описание: Why do we make commitments? Why do we break them? Why does it hurt so much more when others break their commitments to us than when we break our commitments to them? And why do we then make even more commitments-without any assurance that things will work out better the next time around? In "Commitments", an often intimate commentary on human behavior, author Clifford Brody takes you on a personal journey into events of his own life, some deeply wounding, that speak to what commitments are and aren't, and why he is very glad that he made those commitments even when they failed so miserably... ...and why you, too, will be happier doing the same thing. Brody makes a unique point of difference in Commitments by recognizing that needs change over life, that different solutions apply for different stages of life, but that there are core constants that lead to commitments that work. A first of a kind book, Commitments blends elements of the traditional with the creative, along with a not-too-subtle swipe at the core assumption intrinsic to Cognitive Behavior Therapy that people have to "change" their so-called automatic thoughts. To make this point, the author whisks readers back through history, marriages, movies, rock music, Twitter, ice cream, Broadway shows, even computer chips-things that no one would ever believe might fit together in any story. But they do. And that enables Commitments' readers to discover why people actually get ahead not just when commitments succeed but also when they fail, and why it is smart to trust others to deliver on their commitments even when there is no concrete proof that they ever will
