“The core of the book is unchanged but still spot-on in its tribute to this masterpiece of French cinema and the man she calls the `Rimbaud of cinema’. The illustrations are good, the text thorough, and the background to the film’s production and subsequent restoration excellent.” (Jon Davies, The Media Education Journal, Issue 61, 2017)
