We don't Grow Old Together is compiled into four parts. The first part gives a new picture of French cinema in the 1960s and 1970s and its various currents by comparing the filmmakers of the new wave with the post-new wave. The next three sections are devoted respectively to Jean Eustace, Maurice Piala, and Philippe Grell, the three great post-wave directors.
The focus of the book is three basic ideas and questions: First, how does style change in cinema? From within art or from outside it? With the will of the filmmaker, through what Alois Riegel calls "the will of art", or with the movement of the spirit of history? The second question is less historical and more aesthetic: how does Makholia take an artistic form in cinema? What is the relationship between sadness, time, and image? How is grief manifested in mise-en-scène and editing and how does it affect bodies? Finally, the third question has importance beyond aesthetic and historical issues and reflects an existential and cosmic concern: how to balance chaos and logic? How can you make a movie or live a life that is both accidental and necessary? Valery rightly said: "Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder." How can we save our world from the danger of both? How to eliminate the conflict between external order and internal freedom and achieve arbitrary order or rule-based freedom? This book wants to show that post-new wave cinema is a beautiful, serious, and sad answer to all three questions above.
