Luc Moullet: New Book from Capricci Explores the Iconoclast Filmmaker's Career
Éditions Capricci has published two new books on French filmmaker Luc Moullet: 'Piges choisies' and 'Notre alpin quotidien'. 'Notre alpin quotidien' features an interview conducted by Emmanuel Burdeau and Jean Narboni in February 2009, including Moullet's manifesto 'Toute loi doit être tournée'. Moullet, a critic for Cahiers du cinéma from 1956 to 1965, directed documentaries such as 'Genèse d'un repas' (1978), 'L'Empire de Médor' (1986), and 'Foix' (1994), as well as fictions like 'Brigitte et Brigitte' (1966) and 'Parpaillon ou le Fantôme de Longstaff' (1996). He also produced Nathalie Granger (1972) by Marguerite Duras. 'Piges choisies' collects his critical texts for Cahiers, Bref, and Trafic, annotated by Moullet himself. The books are part of a diptych following his earlier works on Werner Herzog.
