Une histoire d’eau (1961, François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 6, 2019
Une histoire d’eau has a sense of humor, which ought to do it some favors, but none of the humor connects. The short, which co-director Truffaut apparently intended to be a romance, is instead this rushed, peculiar… blathering would be the best word for it, I think. D’Eau is about college student read more

Charlotte and Her Lover (1960, Jean-Luc Godard)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 10, 2019
Somewhere around minute seven–of an unlucky thirteen–Charlotte and Her Lover's ending started to seem inevitable; predictability makes the last six minutes even more tiresome. Writer, director, and de facto lead Godard (he looped in the ranting monologue for onscreen lead Jean-Paul read more

Oct 23 Posted by aaronwest Aaron West does another solo cast looking at one of the later Godard works, as well as one of the most inflammatory, and one of the strangest. That’s saying something for Godard. He talks about the tracking shot, the political message, the references to film, and wh read more

Weekend (1967, Jean-Luc Godard)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 7, 2015
The best part of Weekend is Jean-Pierre Léaud singing his dialogue while in a phone booth. He then gets into a fight with leads Jean Yanne and Mireille Darc as they try to get a ride from him. Weekend is about the unreality of bourgeois life when it gets into the wild–in this case, the French read more
Every Man for Himself, Jean-Luc Godard, 1980
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Apr 4, 2015
Apr 4 Posted by aaronwest Back in my early days of cinephilia, I remember taking a survey film class. I had watched a couple of Godard titles by that point and was less than impressed. When we reached the French New Wave section and were asked to discuss Godard, I said, halfway embarrassed that “I read more

Top films of Jean-Luc Godard by LMdC
Le Mot du Cinephiliaque Posted by Michael on Dec 3, 2011
To celebrate JLG’s 81st birthday, I’ve decided to make my Top of all his films. Since he is a living legend and one of the most influential directors of all time this list is a work in progress because I haven’t seen all his films. His final film; Film socialisme is the conclusion read more
Jean-Luc Godard: Audience detachment through narrative delay
Studies in Cinema Posted by Jeremy Carr on Feb 10, 2010
Should a film have a beginning, middle and end, it was once asked of Jean-Luc Godard. Yes, he famously responded, but not necessarily in that order (Sterritt, “Films” 20). Indeed, straying from formulaic narrative conventions has been a hallmark in the French filmmakers’ more than read more
