Serge Daney
Serge Daney (1944 - 1992) was an influential French movie critic who went on from writing film reviews to developing a television criticism and onto building a personal theory of the image. Although highly regarded in French and European film criticism circles, his work remains little known to English-speaking audiences, largely because it has not been consistently translated.
