A wonderfully fact-filled new biography of Godard. . . . You immediately want to watch the best of his films again as you read Rebhandl's confidently narrated book about the filmmaker, which analyzes with genteel restraint." - Der Spiegel "Rebhandl has undoubtedly hit it big here." - Walter Gasperi, Die Furche "A wonderful, dense tapestry of cinematic knowledge, not without a pattern of personal enthusiasm, which lets one walk reasonably safely into the workrooms of a guy who doesn't exactly welcome guests with open arms." - Georg Seesslen, epd Film "Rebhandl's lucidly written monograph offers a perfect introduction to Godard's complex intellectual and cinematic world." - Stefan Grissemann, Profil "Rebhandl's treatise lends itself to introductory reading, but also provides enough page-turners for Godard connoisseurs. . . . No small feat." - Andreas Busche, Tagesspiegel
