Alain Bergala ha mantenido, desde hace muchos años, un diálogo permanente con el cine de Jean-Luc Godard, y por ello ha podido reunir ahora estos textos para ofrecer una visión esclarecedora de su produccion mas reciente. Desde los años ochenta, las peliculas de Godard se suceden de manera cada vez menos autonoma, pues lo que de verdad intentan es dibujar un proyecto artistico global. Siguiendo el desarrollo de esta progresion creadora, Bergala muestra lo que esa obra tiene de unico: no sacrificar nunca nada de las exigencias del cine, entendido como forma de vida, al simple logro de una pelicula en concreto. Salve quien pueda (la vida), Pasion, Nombre: Carmen, Yo te saludo, Maria, For Ever Mozart, Helas pour moi o Histoire(s) du cinema son otros tantos caminos de la misma busqueda, del mismo gesto creativo. Seguir el rastro de Godard: tal podria haber sido la consigna de estos textos. Pero un rastro todavia fresco, apenas trazado, lo cual permite al lector un conocimiento gozoso y variado de uno de los cineastas fundamentales de la modernidad, uno de los pocos que se pueden permitir el lujo de seguir concibiendo el lenguaje cinematografico como una forma de expresion, y no simplemente como un objeto de consumo.

A mitad de camino entre Fellini y el surrealismo, la vida de Alain es un profundo testimonio de resiliencia que nos invita a perseguir nuestros sueños a través del humor y el amor.«El nuevo libro de

Cualquier escena romántica parece incompleta sin una tierna melodía de violín. La amenazadora presencia de unos indios no resulta tan peligrosa sin la percusión de unos inquietantes tambores. Los metales hablaran de sentimientos heroicos, y el saxofon, tal vez, de sensualidad. Crear un ambiente a partir de la musica no siempre resulta facil. Pero quien lo logre sera capaz de acompañar a la imagen de una manera sublime y estremecer al espectador en su butaca, hasta hacerle temblar, reir o llorar. Valorar una partitura cinematografica exige unos conocimientos minimos de musica y de cine, que permitan relacionar con acierto imagen y sonido.Como apenas existen textos en castellano, el autor ofrece aqui una propuesta divulgativa, con rigor y amenidad, que permitira adquirir criterio de la mano de diez grandes obras maestras del cine.La critica ha dicho:"El cine y su musica se lee casi del tiron, y con enorme agrado, el autor sabe de lo que escribe, incluye anecdotas que vienen a cuento, y las aportaciones del jazz, o del dabadabada en Un hombre y una mujer, haran entender al lector muchas cosas. Ademas todos los capitulos de la primera entrega terminan con deberes, por asi decir, que invitan a leer, ver y es

A magical concoction of the mischievous, tender, whimsical, and debauched real-life adventures of Alan Cumming, told in his own words and pictures.Described by the New York Times as a bawdy countercultural sprite and named one of the most fun people in show business by Time magazine, Alan Cumming is a genuine quadruple threatan internationally acclaimed, award-winning star of stage, television, and film, as well as a New York Times best-selling author whose real-life vivacity, wit, and charm shine through every page of his third book, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams.
