It's usually not until high school, or later, that most young people learn about various world religions. But, really, isn't this something we should be teaching our children much earlier?

There are over four thousand religions in the world, and, from the moment we're born, we immediately begin encountering people from various, diverse cultures and belief systems-and, eventually, we all end up sitting alongside each other in the same classrooms, movie theaters, and other public places. The sooner we learn about these other religions, the sooner we can understand how their followers...

Jacques Rivette is perhaps the best-kept secret of French cinema. A founding figure in the New Wave, and at the centre of the *Cahiers du cinema* team, he developed into one of the most unusual and adventurous French directors of the last sixty years, yet his work remains little-known in comparison with his contemporaries, and this study is the first in English to look at the full span of his career.
