Décalages: “Young Mr. Lincoln de John Ford”

This chapter discusses Cahiers du cinéma’s collective text “Young Mr.
 Lincoln de John Ford,” a critical re-reading of a canonical film from the
 classical era of Hollywood cinema, and places it in the context of the
 journal’s long relationship with Ford’s oeuvre. Highlighting the article’s
 status as a truly communal theoretical undertaking and its indebtedness
 to the structuralist reading method espoused by Roland Barthes in S/Z,
 this chapter closely scrutinizes the text on Young Mr. Lincoln. While later
 critics for Screen noted flaws in the political analysis offered by Cahiers,
 I show that the value of the Cahiers critics’ reading lies in their emphasis
 on the American director’s formal language, the play of visibility and
 invisibility that produces symptomatic discrepancies with the conscious
 ideological goals of the original project.
