With the contemporaneous “take-off” of university film studies in the English-speaking world, these ideas assumed foundational status during a period of expansive profes- sionalization and academic institutionalization. As contested as some became, cer- tain ideas and concepts from 1970s film theory have had staying power. However, many of the most important formulations of 1970s film theory claimed motivation in the politically radical impulses and ideas of the period, which also permeated some of the most important filmmaking of the time. By the mid-1960s, there were already important claims for a distinctive break with earlier, “classical” film theory. Then, in 1968, a number of political tensions and con- flicts erupted in spectacular political disruptions and oppositional public events all over the globe. For a few years after 1968, yearnings for political transformation often intersected with desires for the radical transformation of intellectual sectors, desires which one finds in certain of the initiating texts of 1970s film theory. Among all of these events, May 1968 in France was the time and place where film culture was most famously – and perhaps even mythically – associated with politicized practices and understandings of cinema. Jean-Louis Comolli was one of the central figures in French film culture at that moment. Very much an homme du cinéma, he is a filmmaker as well as critic and theorist. As critic and theorist he has always committed himself to engaging with the very textures of films while simultaneously conceptualizing the broader aesthetic vocations and social possibilities and roles of cinema. In the early 1960s, Comolli had emerged as a writer, and then chief editor, for that most influential of Parisian film journals, Cahiers du cinéma. His articles from the late 1960s and early 1970s are not his only important theore- tical and critical work, but they may be counted among the foundational texts of 1970s film theory. In this volume, Daniel Fairfax provides corrected, theoretically and historically informed translations of certain of Comolli's most widely discussed writ- ings dating from the immediate post-1968 years of Cahiers. These include two polem- ical editorials written in 1969 and co-authored with Comolli's fellow Cahiers editor Jean Narboni, along with Comolli's most far-reaching, extensive, and consequential work for the history of film theory, “Technique and Ideology,” which was written and 7 published serially in 1971-1972 in several issues of Cahiers. Fairfax additionally pro- vides a translation of “Cinema against Spectacle,” a recent major essay in which Co- molli reconsiders the position of cinema some 40 years later, when filmmaking finds itself part of a transformed 21st-century media universe. Fairfax's extensive introduction gives us a detailed account of the debates and critiques generated by “Technique and Ideology” and the Cahiers editorials. In the English-speaking world, the impact of “Technique and Ideology” was all the more remarkable because of the cumbersome, inconvenient way it was distributed. Though rapidly translated into English, it was at first available only in typescript form for discussion and study groups in London. Some contemporaneous British translations of other French film-theoretical polemics were quickly published in the journal Screen, the most central English-language journal for 1970s film theory, and they soon became standard texts in Anglophone debates.

Marco Bellocchio i Bernardo Bertolucci van recollir l’herència de Pier Paolo Pasolini per aixecar la bandera del Nou Cinema italià dels seixanta amb I pugni in tasca i Prima della rivoluzione com a vaixells insígnia. Des de llavors, l’obra de Bellocchio s’ha desenvolupat a cavall entre la política i la psicoanàlisi, des d’un cinema militant que ha evolucionat cap a postures més reflexives fins a la solució de complexos edípics sense necessitat de matar la mare per buscar models universals en els clàssics de la literatura. La retrospectiva, tan àmplia com hem pogut en funció de la disponibilitat d’unes còpies d’accés gens fàcil, arrenca aquest mes amb sis llargmetratges que inclouen des de les històriques denúncies de l’autoritarisme d’I pugni in tasca, Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina i Nel nome del padre fins a les exploracions psicoanalítiques de l’erotisme a Il diavolo in corpo i La condanna o la sublim interpretació de Marcello Mastroianni del pirandellià Enrico IV.

Deuxième moment de la modernité au cinéma après le néoréalisme italien, son avènement au tournant des années soixante a profondément changé la donne esthétique de l’art cinématographique, et ce jusqu’à aujourd’hui. L’une des caractéristiques les plus essentielles de ce mouvement fut de considérer le cinéma, dans l’exercice même de sa praxis, de façon critique, cinéphile et réflexive. Groupée autour de la revue des Cahiers du Cinéma, cofondée par André Bazin, la Nouvelle Vague est souvent réduite à un groupe de critiques passés à la réalisation : Claude Chabrol, François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, Éric Rohmer, Pierre Kast, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze et Marilù Parolini (scénariste). Aussi, il ne faudrait pas oublier ceux que l’on nomma le « groupe Rive gauche » : Agnès Varda, Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Jacques Demy, Jean-Daniel Pollet, Henri Colpi et Jacques Rozier. On peut aussi y rattacher un certain nombre d’outsiders importants, soit immédiatement précurseurs (Jean- Pierre Melville, Georges Franju, Jean Rouch et Alexandre Astruc), soit continuateurs à l’esthétique plus ou moins proche (Marguerite Duras, Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet, Paula Delsol, Maurice Pialat, Jean Eustache, Chantal Akerman, Philippe Garrel, Jacques Doillon, Catherine Breillat, Danièle Dubroux et André Téchiné).
