Documentary

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.

VIBE

A deeply personal, melancholic meditation on cinema's past. It's a dense, beautiful collage that feels like wandering through a vast, personal archive, reflecting on art and memory with a wistful, intellectual gaze.
