We will be screening Jean-Luc Godard’s The Image Book tomorrow instead of Nouvelle Vague. The screening of Nouvelle Vague will be postponed to a later date. Please check back on our website soon, for updated information.
The Image Book probes topics that preoccupied Godard’s later years — the state of film aesthetics, the discourse between history, painting, and cinema, and the boundaries between filmmaking and other forms of image making — all of which then shape a broad philosophical inquiry into the state of the modern world. “Godard pieces together fragments, clips them from some of the greatest films of the past, then digitally alters, bleaches, and washes them, all in the service of reflecting on what he sees and what he makes of the dissonance that surrounds him” — Piers Handling. (Jean-Luc Godard, 2018, DCP, English subtitles, 84 minutes)
This film is part of our Dive into Godard’s New Wave series.
