Cahiers du cinéma n°103 - January 1960

This issue of Cahiers du Cinéma features an in-depth analysis of the music in Alain Resnais's "Hiroshima Mon Amour", with a detailed breakdown of the themes and motifs by Henri Colpi. Michel Mourlet explores the idea of a "myth of Aristarque" and his vision of cinema criticism. Luc Moullet offers a lengthy, somewhat rambling, discussion of film writing, including an analysis of many French books about cinema and suggesting new approaches to critiquing movies. Additionally, the magazine includes a study of animation and the 'Free Cinema' movement as seen at the Tours film festival by Louis Marcorelles, an analysis of "A Double Tour" by Claude Chabrol, a look at Bergman’s “Une leçon d’amour”, as well as the usual film reviews and a list of the films of the month.
