Serge Daney

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, two collections of his writings prior to 1982, The Cinema House and the World, in 2022, and Footlights, in 2023.
