Cahiers du cinéma n°352 - October 1983

This issue of Cahiers du Cinéma primarily covers the 40th Venice Film Festival, with a focus on Jean-Luc Godard's "Prénom Carmen", which won the Golden Lion. Other films discussed from the festival include "Zelig", "Poussière d'Empire", "Biquefarre", "Streamers" and "Amore Tossico". There's a detailed analysis of "Poussière d'Empire" including an interview with its director Lâm Lê. The magazine explores the concept of the auteur in cinema, particularly in a discussion stemming from a Venice panel about the impact of new technologies. There are also articles on Carl Th. Dreyer, anticipating a retrospective of his work, and Shohei Imamura. An extensive interview with philosopher Gilles Deleuze delves into his ideas about the image-movement, and there are also pieces analyzing Woody Allen's "Zelig" and a feature on the work of film photographer Roger Corbeau. Additionally, a report on the Moscow Film Festival provides an inside look at that event and a breakdown of the British film production scene with an emphasis on government and television investment.
