Bernard Eisenschitz (born 3 July 1944 in Saint-Calais, France) is a French film critic, subtitler and historian. He has also directed, produced and restored films.
Eisenschitz modelled himself on the film historian Georges Sadoul, the definitive edition of whose masterwork, the Histoire générale du cinéma, he edited. [1] Eisenschitz is an internationally known expert on Fritz Lang and Nicholas Ray, as well as Chris Marker and Robert Kramer. He has worked and published on Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Ernst Lubitsch, German cinema and the history of the Cinémathèque française, among other topics.
Eisenschitz wrote for Cahiers du cinéma between about 1967 and 1972, and for La nouvelle critique from 1970 to 1977. [2] In 2001, he founded the periodical Cinéma. In the same year, he completed the definitive restoration of Jean Vigo's film L'Atalante [3] and made a documentary on the film's different restorations entitled Les Voyages de L'Atalante.
He has on occasion appeared as an actor in films for director-friends of his, for example in Jacques Rivette's Out 1, The Mother and the Whore by Jean Eustache, Le Prestige de la mort by Luc Moullet, and in films by Otar Iosseliani, Wim Wenders et Amos Gitaï. He is a regular speaker at film screenings and festivals including the archival festival Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna. [4] [5]
The film critic Jacques Mandelbaum has said of Eisenschitz that "Traducteur, historien du cinéma, programmateur, réalisateur et acteur à l'occasion, Eisenschitz est l'une de ces figures secrètes de la cinéphilie dont l'érudition et la finesse de touche se rendent toujours disponibles à qui les sollicite" [6] [Translator, film historian, programmer, director and occasional actor, Eisenschitz is one of those secret cinephiliac figures whose erudition and subtlety are always at the disposal of those who ask].
In 2012 Eisenschitz received the Reinhold Schünzel Award at the cinefest – Internationales Festival des deutschen Film-Erbes in Hamburg.

Cahiers du Cinéma is a French film magazine co-founded in 1951 by André Bazin, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca. It developed from the earlier magazine Revue du Cinéma involving members of two Paris film clubs—Objectif 49 and Ciné-Club du Quartier Latin.
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s. Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma before beginning his career as a film maker.
Jacques Rivette was a French film director and film critic most commonly associated with the French New Wave and the film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. He made twenty-nine films, including L'Amour fou (1969), Out 1 (1971), Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974), and La Belle Noiseuse (1991). His work is noted for its improvisation, loose narratives, and lengthy running times.
Serge Daney was a French movie critic. He was a major figure of Cahiers du cinéma which he co-edited in the late 1970s. He also wrote extensively about films, television, and society in the newspaper Libération and founded the quarterly review Trafic shortly before his death. Highly regarded in French and European film criticism circles, his work remained little known to English-speaking audiences until recent translations. A first book-long interview, Postcards from the Cinema, was published in 2007 and a collection of his writings prior to 1982, The Cinema House and the World, was published in 2022.
Contempt is a 1963 French New Wave drama film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, based on the 1954 Italian novel Il disprezzo by Alberto Moravia. It stars Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, Jack Palance, Fritz Lang, and Giorgia Moll.
Poetic realism was a film movement in France of the 1930s. More a tendency than a movement, poetic realism is not strongly unified like Soviet montage or French Impressionism but were individuals who created this lyrical style. Its leading filmmakers were Pierre Chenal, Jean Vigo, Julien Duvivier, Marcel Carné, and, perhaps the movement's most significant director, Jean Renoir. Renoir made a wide variety of films some influenced by the leftist Popular Front group and even a lyrical short feature film. Frequent stars of these films were Jean Gabin, Michel Simon, Simone Signoret, and Michèle Morgan.
