In pieces on fellow travelers Godard and Straub\/Huillet, on films ranging from Pasolini's \u003ci\u003eSaló\u003c\/i\u003e to Spielberg's \u003ci\u003eJaws\u003c\/i\u003e, and on the difference between film language and television discourse, Daney offers a definitive portrait of an era of radical hope and disappointment.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Semiotext(e)","offers":[{"title":"Footlights: Critical Notebook 19701982 | Serge Daney | Paperback | 9781635901986 | New | Music \u0026 Performing Arts 1555271","offer_id":50577082122498,"sku":"1555271","price":32.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81Hrgi-R8UL.jpg?v=1790925981","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/footlights-critical-notebook-19701982","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
