Cahiers du cinéma n°658 - July/August 2010

This issue of Cahiers du Cinéma focuses heavily on American television series, with in-depth articles and interviews dedicated to Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Wire as well as other shows from creators like David Simon and Agnieszka Holland. The magazine explores the unique freedoms and ambitions found in these series and their move from concept-driven to detail-rich narratives. The issue also includes a critical section on recent film releases, including Toy Story 3, Poetry, Twilight 3, and Carlos, along with more general pieces about cinematic trends like 3D and film accessibility for the blind, and profiles of up-and-coming actors like Anaïs Demoustier. In addition, the magazine presents an interview with Philippe Parreno about his experimental long-form film project and a retrospective of the classic western, "La Chevauchée des Bannis," which includes a book on the making of this film.
