When it appeared in 1960, the inspired fun of Franois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player shocked and delighted critics and audiences around the world. Its sudden shifts of tone and mood, its willful play with genre stereotypes, and its hilarious injokes clearly signaled that JeanLuc Godard's equally innovative Breathless was not a fluke. The two films heralded the arrival of the socalled New Wave, sharing with other New Wave films an insistence on lowbudget, location shooting and, above all, on cinema as the personal statement of an author. These films had a tremendous impact on all filmmaking.Peter Brunette's introduction to this book gives us new insight into the film, based in part on revisualizing it in terms of recent postmodern and poststructuralist thinking. He argues, in effect, that Truffaut was one of the directors who paved the way for a postmodern aesthetic. The volume also contains a complete and accurate continuity script of the film (based on the authoritative, widescreen version), a series of interviews with Truffaut (including one by Hlne Laroche Davis, previously unpublished), a large number of reviews and essays, a filmography, and selected bibliography.
