Though relatively unsung in the Englishspeaking world, Jean Rouch (19172004) was a towering figure of ethnographic cinema. Over the course of a fiftyyear career, he completed over one hundred films, both documentary and fiction, and exerted an influence far beyond academia. Exhaustively researched yet elegantly written, The Adventure of the Real is the first comprehensive analysis of his practical filmmaking methods.Rouch developed these methods while conducting anthropological research in West Africa in the 1940s1950s. His innovative use of unscripted improvisation by his subjects had a profound impact on the French New Wave, Paul Henley reveals, while his documentary work launched the genre of cinemavrit. In addition to tracking Rouchs pioneering career, Henley examines the technical strategies, aesthetic considerations, and ethical positions that contribute to Rouchs cinematographic legacy. Featuring over one hundred and fifty images, The Adventure of the Real is an essential introduction to Rouchs work.
