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 a monumental collage, relying on video editing as his primary philosophical language. He explores the relationship between cinematic images and historical trauma, building a dense tapestry of quotations and dissonant sounds.

What lingers after the screen goes dark is the weight of the century, filtered through the melancholy of a cinephile who has seen it all. This is an essay, not a story. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jean-Luc Godard

Watch in a single, focused sitting with quality headphones. An experience for the mind, not for entertainment.
