Recenzje

Brilliantly informed and boldly written, this magisterial study gets to the heart of Godard's pioneering, multilayered practice of 'metafilm music'. Baumgartner reveals in rich and fascinating detail the remarkable consistency of Godard's self-reflexive musical strategies and their significance for understanding both the ontology of film music and the critical challenges of audioviewing.
