A New Rivette Book!
In February of next year, Manchester University Press is releasing a new career overview for Jacques Rivette, perhaps the first full-length overview in English.
While worth your time to read, the narrative constructed by Douglas Morrey and Alison Smith will most likely be a safe one, against which academics and other scholars will argue in the years to come. The hope is that someday Mary Wiles will see her 2002 dissertation on Rivette published, and perhaps after the Morrey and Smith book makes the rounds, the chances of this happening will be even greater.

If I can snag a review copy of the Rivette book, would you like to review it on Flickhead? I'd be looking for something in excess of 1500 words. Let me know if you're into doing it!
Excellent news! I love these books from MUP. What does Wiles' dissertation cover that makes it more promising than this book?
I haven't read either, but my guess is that Wiles contains stronger analysis of the films as well as an historical explanation for Rivette's decisions, whereas I'm guessing this new book summarizes each step of Rivette's career and its place among his art house contemporaries. Don't quite me on that, it's only a guess.

Yes. I've spent a lot of energy on the blog trying to put into words my troubles with Swanberg's films, but I think I promised I wouldn't utter another word about the situation.
