Cahiers du cinéma n°93 - March 1959

This March 1959 issue of Cahiers du Cinéma includes an in-depth interview with Luchino Visconti, discussing his early career, influences (especially Jean Renoir), and his views on theater and cinema. The magazine also features a long essay by Luc Moullet on director Sam Fuller, analyzing his themes of war, violence, and the nature of non-conformity. It discusses how Fuller’s films blend realism with melodramatic elements, and his controversial stances on politics. Furthermore, a dialogue by Ingmar Bergman explores the realities of the film industry. There is also an extended analysis of Luis Buñuel's film Nazarin, examining his creative process and his use of religious and social themes. The issue concludes with film reviews of several new releases, among which Vertigo gets special attention, as well as a listing of films playing in Paris.
