Publisher Synopsis
"This is a splendid book - well researched, original, and lucidly written. I have no doubt it will become a classic: the single indispensable book on Rouch and his work. Henley provides a vast amount of information, detailed analyses of many of Rouch's films, and above all a subtle and probing discussion of Rouch's 'praxis.' The book is particularly illuminating as to Rouch's working methods, which only a practicing filmmaker with a gift for analysis and a fund of personal experience could have carried off - a rare combination." - David MacDougall, Australian National University" Read more...
