JEAN LUC GODARD
the embodiment of cinema
…at least according to jean-luc godard. nicholas ray was a quintessential influence on french new-wave, and a stylish man lost too soon. by sv

genius speaking. by ars
opening ceremony meets godard

a league of extraordinary gentlemen
from left to right; despondent lelouch, omnipotent godard, pensive truffaut, contemplative malle, and quiet mr. polanski. i wonder if they had a pop group on the side, i would have bought their albums. by sv
domestic quarrels, political conflicts, and disposable razors courtesy of jean-luc godard
no jump cuts, but this commercial for schick razors was directed by none other than jean-luc and gorin themselves. the duo took on the opportunity in order to gain funding for their more important cinematic ventures. according to my research (and the omniscient internet) the radio broadcast is discussing issues in palestine. juliet berto at her best? by sv
alphaville birds
i don’t quite recall this frame from the film but it made me want to see it again. was this where he meets with the prostitutes? leave it to godard to shove in the pretty birds one way or another. if only we were as good as him on TS ; ) by dd
new wave vs. new york: JLG vs. woody allen

Jean Pierre Léaud and chantal goya: why should I be afraid?

socialisme : by Jean-Luc Godard (2010)
why has no one been talking about jean-luc godard‘s new film socialisme? it screened at the recent cannes film festival and described as his most recent ‘avant meditation’. looking forward to something more dimensional to cross the pond into a theater near me. i’ll have more to share once i’ve seen it myself, but from what i’ve read here (and with godard being described as stan brakhage crossed with noam chomsky), there are some explorations in the film that will be interesting to be brought into the conversation. by kl
