A very personal look at the history of cinema directed, written and edited by Jean-Luc Godard in his Swiss residence in Rolle for ten years (1988-98); a monumental collage, constructed from film fragments, texts and quotations, photos and paintings, music and sound, and diverse readings; a critical, beautiful and melancholic vision of cinematographic art.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Godard constructs his history not as a chronicle but as an archaeology of images, relying on montage as the primary tool of philosophical inquiry. He explores cinema through its fragments, using superimposition, counterpoint, and silence to speak of memory, violence, and beauty.

What lingers after viewing is the sensation of having been inside a giant, pulsating brain where thought materializes as flashes of familiar and forgotten footage. It is a meditation on how cinema thinks about itself. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jean-Luc Godard

Watch in complete darkness with quality sound, prepared for a poetic manifesto, not a lecture.
