In pieces on fellow travelers Godard and Straub\/Huillet, on films ranging from Pasolini’s \u003ci\u003eSaló\u003c\/i\u003e to Spielberg’s \u003ci\u003eJaws\u003c\/i\u003e, and on the difference between film language and television discourse, Daney offers a definitive portrait of an era of radical hope and disappointment.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300705292517,"sku":"NP9781635901986","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781635901986.jpg?v=1767727535","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/footlights-critical-notebook-19701982-isbn-9781635901986","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
