Richard Brody graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in Comparative Literature.
He worked in various capacities in the film business (including documentary researcher, writer, and producer) and in advertising, before writing and directing, as an independent filmmaker, the feature film Liability Crisis, which was released in 1995.
He wrote book reviews for The Forward beginning in 1996 and started writing for The New Yorker in 1999; among his publications there are articles about the directors François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and Samuel Fuller.
In 2001, Metropolitan Books/Henry Holt & Co. commissioned him to write a critical biography of Godard based on his profile of the filmmaker that appeared in The New Yorker. Since 2005, he has been the movie listings editor at The New Yorker, where he writes film reviews and a DVD column.
Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard is his first book.
He lives in New York.
