Godard On Godard

Synopsis

Jean-luc godard, like many of his european contemporaries, came to filmmaking through film criticism. This collection of essays and interviews, ranging from his early efforts for la gazette du cinéma to his later writings for cahiers du cinéma, reflects his dazzling intelligence, biting wit, maddening judgments, and complete unpredictability. In writing about hitchcock, welles, bergman, truffaut, bresson, and renoir, godard is also writing about himself-his own experiments, obsessions, discoveries.
