Cinéma Radical

There exists a cinema which takes unknown ways and invents its own rules. There exists a cinema which is independent of the trade industry, independent of the world of art and world of fashion. There exists a cinema in which each large film gives concerned the definition even of the cinema. There exists a cinema which renews forms permanently, like the methods of existence. There exists a cinema which constitutes a hard core, impossible to circumvent. It is this radical cinema which the author endeavours to explore through the analysis of some oeoeuvres major and exemplary.
