This "small world of cinema" is the story of forty years of critical adventure, of journeys, discoveries, and conversations with fifty film directors, from the greatest names (Fellini, Bresson, Casssavetes, Tarkovsky) to promising beginners (Lars von Trier, Peter Greenaway, Jane Campion, Wim Wenders or Nuri Bilge Ceylan who was awarded the Grand Prize of the Jury 2003 in Cannes for his film Uzak.)
With this book, Michel Ciment invites the reader to take a fascinating trip around the world, from the Philippines to Korea to Norway to Portugal, from Brazil to Georgia, as he demonstrates the extraordinary abundance of modern cinema which he has been following since the 1960s as an interlocutor and an observer. Most of all, he succeeds in sharing with us his love of cinema in all its diversity.

Michel Ciment is a member of the editing committee of the film magazine Positif, the author of a dozen books on cinema, a producer and a radio critic.
