Review Quotes: "Godard and the Essay Film is an exceptionally innovative and fresh study that manages to rethink one of the most important and challenging filmmakers in cinema history. In the process, Warner has also engaged one of the most important and prominent waves in modern filmmaking, the essay film. While there is a growing body of scholarship on this subject, Warner's more focused engagement offers keen new insights that extend beyond Godard's work." --Timothy Corrigan, author of The Essay Film: From Montaigne, After Marker
