caboose is pleased to announce the release of a beautiful hardcover edition of Jean-Luc Godard’s monumental Introduction to a True History of Cinema and Television. This essential book is the only complete edition and the only English translation of Godard’s historic talks in Montreal in 1978. The hardcover edition can be purchased individually or obtained free of charge with the purchase of other caboose film books in its Spring 2020 caboose catalogue (or download a PDF version). Yes, we’re giving this superb book away free! Godard’s True History of Cinema has won praise from all quarters, including for its stunning design and production. James Williams of the University of London writes: |

This is a major event in film studies: we hear as if for the first time the live pulse of Godard’s lectures and discussions in Montreal in 1978—a series of fourteen meetings that pave the way for the eight chapters of his Histoire(s) du cinéma (1988–1998). Timothy Barnard conveys brilliantly Godard’s mercurial thought in action, even at its most hesitant, contradictory and ambivalent. This wonderfully accessible and superbly edited translation restores missing material and conversations that were not transcribed in the original 1980 French edition, the illustrations of which are reproduced here with translated captions. Michael Witt’s magisterial introductory essay to the volume on the dense archaeology of Histoire(s) complements the translation perfectly in its intellectual commitment and rigour. Previously unavailable to the Anglo-Saxon reader, this now fully complete volume will prove indispensable to anyone seriously interested in the history and philosophy of film. |
