Tire au flanc 62 (Claude de Givray 1960)

les Cahiers du Cinéma on screen

This post is a collection of moments where a copy of Cahiers du Cinéma can be seen somewhere in a film. Most of the films are New Wave, but not all. Here, in John Waters's  1981 film Polyester, Divine is reading the July-August edition of Cahiers:

The Cahiers offices are the setting for a sequence of Rohmer's La Sonate à Kreutzer (1956). Here are Rohmer and Godard and a display of Cahiers covers:

Other than this the first appearance of Cahiers on screen that I know of is in Rivette's 1956 short Le Coup du berger, with issue 58 (April 1956) on a bedside table. The cover shows Anna Magnani in Daniel Mann's The Rose Tattoo:

Rivette was of course a writer for Cahiers. Maurice Pialat was not, but in his early short L'Ombre familière (1957) he featured his protagonist reading issue 62 (August 1956), with a famous photograph of Hitchcock on the cover:

That same year, Cahiers writer Jean-Luc Godard put issue 73 (July 1957) on a café table. On the cover is Orson Welles in Jack Arnold's Pay the Devil (1957):

Jean-Claude Brialy is again reading Cahiers in Claude Chabrol's Le Beau Serge (1958). On the cover is Julette Greco in Henry King's The Sun Also Rises (1957):

Cahiers writer Jacques Doniol-Valcroze has Jean-Pierre Cassel reading the April 1958 issue (no. 82) in his short Les Surmenés (1958). The cover features Jacques Tati in Mon oncle (1958):

There are two appearances of Cahiers in Godard's A bout de souffle. The first is issue 96 (June 1959), featuring Truffaut's Les 400 coups, and it appears in the room occupied by Liliane David, Truffaut's girlfriend at the time: 

The second is the following month's issue, no. 97, and is perhaps the most famous appearance of Cahiers in any film. The protagonist is asked: 'Vous n'avez rien contre la jeunesse?' - the title of a 1958 short by Edouard Logereau about juvenile delinquents in Paris. In answer to the question whether he has anything against young people, he replies 'Yes, I like the old'. Though we  don't see the image, the cover features the lovers in Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour (1959), two people who are neither young nor old:

In Rivette's Paris nous appartient, the April 1958 issue featuring Mon oncle on the cover can just be glimpsed on a shelf:

Cahiers writer Luc Moullet's 1960 short Un steack trop cuit has issue 104 (February 1960) being torn in two. The cover features Doniol-Valcroze's L'Eau à la bouche (1960):

Several years later Moullet's cinephilic protagonist in Brigitte et Brigitte (1966) has two copies of Cahiers on her bed, a vintage issue (no. 93, March 1959), with Chabrol's Le Beau Serge on the cover, and a more recent special on 'the crisis in French cinema' (no 161-162, January 1965):

Among the books and magazines being burned in Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 (1966) is the January 1960 issue of Cahiers (no. 103), with Jean Seberg in A bout de souffle:

Lastly, away from films made by Cahiers writers, in his 1966 Chappaqua Conrad Rooks has William Burroughs reading the latest issue of Cahiers (no. 176, March 1966) with the star of Fahrenheit 451 on the cover, Julie Christie:

The March 1967 issue of Cahiers, no. 188 with Bergman's Persona on the cover, would appear as a period detail in Bertolucci's The Dreamers (2003):

There are certainly many other appearances on screen of the world's most famous film journal. If you spot any, please let me know (here) and I'll add them to the collection.
