...from Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, France's best-known young novelist, are still occasions of note, but few other novelists are noted abroad. One exception is France's film makers, especially such directors as Francois Truffaut, Alain Resnais and Swiss-born Director Jean-Luc Godard...
...camera: "Watch out, Haskell, it's real!" Still, Wexler's dramatic attempts to reconcile personal and public crises lead him occasionally to overload his film. The romance never quite has the passion and urgency that it should, and the novice director's infatuation with Jean-Luc Godard deceives him into a gratuitous existential denouement (straight out of Contempt) in which the lovers hear about their involvement in a fatal car crash before it actually occurs.

Among them are Novelist Alberto Moravia, Philosopher Martin Heidegger and Composer Igor Stravinsky, Film Directors John Huston, Ingmar Bergman and Jean-Luc Godard, Diplomat George Kennan and Heart Surgeon Dr. Christiaan Barnard.

The result is surprisingly successful, containing two films...
...have the astounding depth and dominance of background objects which we have come to associate with recent Chabrol. At the same time, however, the frames retain a three dimensional quality and a precise interaction of parts that has been the basis of all of Chabrol's work. Unlike Godard who uses short films merely for diversionary anecdotes, Cabrol has used this short film for a major statement on the content of is work...
