Godard's hommage to Tati and Lewis
April 5 2004
Format:DVD
Godard is the most important filmmaker of all time. Living or dead. He invented the militant film, the video essay, and his most recent work (Eloge De L'Amour, Histoire(s) Du Cinema, Forever Mozart, 2 fois 50 ans de cinema francais, Nouvelle Vague) is more beautiful and stunning than anything he has ever done. For Godard, the 80s were also a vital and stunning period. Films such as Sauve Qui Peut (La Vie), Je Vous Salue Marie and Passion were produced, as was this interesting film Godard compiled together. As always with Godard there are images of incredible beauty (the little girl behind the glass door, the hand chained to the wall ect) and much of it defines very clearly Godard's vision of cinema at the time as a series of mouvements. Therefore it would be vital in a thesis on the 80s cinema of Godard. It is not, however, a beautiful, moving and sensational work like 'Histoire(s)', nor are there as many beautiful images one would expect from Godard (nothing comparable with the hand on the flickering television screen from 'Prenom: Carmen' for example) and although the purpose is a different one, the idea of a band creating music as one of the multiple episodes in the film was used better and much more profondly in Godard's earlier 'Sympathy For The Devil/One Plus One' (where the filmmaker used the popular rolling stones song as a metaphor for creation and destruction). Overall, a film to be seen by true cinephilles for it's unique place in Godard's filmmography.
