Description
The Lettrist movement is unique in the history of avant-garde formations. Founded by Isidore Isou in Paris in the aftermath of World War II, it remains active to this day, having lost none of its radicalism, whether aesthetic or ethical. In this book, Nicole Brenez presents the key figures and core concepts of Lettrist cinema, the art form in which their formal innovations proved most profound, prefiguring the breakthroughs of the nouvelle vague and the experiments of expanded cinema.
Published with Moderna Museet, Stockholm, this book is part of the "All the King's Horses" series, Stockholm, exploring the Situationists, the last and most influential avant-garde movement of postwar Europe.
Nicole Brenez is a French film historian and theorist, specializing in the avant-gardes.
