520    This 54-minute documentary traces the writer James 
       Salter's lifelong love affair with France, unforgettably 
       expressed in his 1967 masterpiece, A Sport and a Pastime. 
       The novel, a transcendent examination of sexual desire, 
       follows an ill-fated love affair between a Yale dropout 
       and a young French girl, played out in the villages of 
       Burgundy in the 1960s. "Its spirit," The Washington Post 
       wrote, " -- the ache and artistry of Scott Fitzgerald 
       filtered through the cool sensibility of Flaubert or James
       -- evokes France, missed opportunities, all the fugitive 
       beauty of youth." Salter, who began a career as a fighter 
       pilot before resigning to become a writer, has been 
       praised as a contemporary American master by Saul Bellow, 
       Graham Greene, and Susan Sontag, among others. The film 
       captures the great purity of Salter's prose and the 
       essence of his power to evoke the erotic. Sublime footage 
       of provincial France and fragments of the novel itself, 
       read by the author Reynolds Price, are intercut with 
       photographs by Ralph Gibson and conversations with writers,
       editors, and Robert Redford, for whom Salter wrote the 
       screenplay, Downhill Racer. Salter's own reflections on 
       his writing and life offer rich insights for reader and 
       writer alike. James Salter: A Sport and a Pastime is a 
       luminous depiction of the making of a writer and the 
       genesis of a classic novel.
