“La Cina e Vicina” and “La Chinoise,” by John Bragin (Film Society Review, Vol. IV, No. 1, September 1968)
John Bragin is one of our most original and perceptive film critics, bringing to criticism a depth of understanding and knowledge rarely equalled in his field. The present essay is not simply an excellent treatise on the art of Marco Bellocchio and Jean-Luc Godard, but a splendid series of insights into French and Italian politics in the Sixties. Bragin’s profound understanding of the European Left is obvious throughout this essay.
