Richard Roud; film writer and co-founder and director of the New York Film Festival; was one of the most influential film critics of the twentieth century. Renowned for his close relationships with French New Wave directors such as Godard and Truffaut; he played a key role in bringing European art cinema to the attention of American and British audiences.This anthology brings together selected writings from his published works with previously unpublished archival material ndash; from an unfinished study of Truffaut; to extracts from his books on film-makers such as Straub-Huillet and Ophuuml;ls; and articles for The Guardian and Sight Sound. Charting Rouds journey through the world of film festivals and film criticism from the 1950s to the 1980s; Decades Never Start on Time provides a fascinating insight into the flourishing film culture of the era.
