Bursting onto the scene as star of Otto Preminger's controversial \u003ci\u003eSaint Joan\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), the 19-year-old Seberg encountered great difficulty recovering from the devastating criticism of her performance. The turnaround came in 1959 with her brilliant work in Jean-Luc Godard's \"new wave\" classic \u003ci\u003eA bout de souffle (Breathless)\u003c\/i\u003e. Though her Hollywood prospects were harmed by subsequent political involvements, Seberg continued to work with some of Europe's finest directors. Her later films offer a fascinating view of the movie industry in the 1960s and 1970s--and of a courageous actress always ready for a new challenge. A biographical sketch provides a framework for detailed scrutiny of her 37 films. Background information and a critical evaluation is provided for each title.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47597244809367,"sku":"9780786466528","price":3218.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786466528.webp?v=1774996723","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-films-of-jean-seberg-9780786466528","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
