man i hope these two new releases are good...i hate it when you finally exhaust the releases of any artist/musician/writer/director that you love, and there's nothing left to gather by them.

Oh Man....a Godard thread. (But I hate this notion that Godard fan's must be snobs, intellectuals or whatever. Meh.) 2009 is a huge Godard Exploration year for me, and I'm dizzy about it. I think Pierrot Le Fou is my favourite, possibly the greatest film ever made. Contempt is also right up there. I think his later works have been vastly overlooked, and I rank 2004s Notre Musique right up there with his best, as well as 1985s Detective. I have so much more to say about all this....later....after I read this thread....but Godard has changed my life, Fuck!

I'm not a big fan really. I do love Contempt though. Although I think this has more to do with Bridget Bardot than it does with Godard.

I don't mean this flippantly, but I think he's a very boring filmmaker. The kind of person who can do all the tricks but doesn't have what's required to transform them into something really engaging. What's more, he's always struck me as being one of the most humourless filmmakers out there. A fact made especially evident in his so called comedies.

Godard's made at least a film a year for the past four decades or so and this was the first post to acknowledge that. I get the impression many people think he retired after 1971 or something. Kudos to you. To be fair, a lot are hard to track down, but not impossible if you all are the fans you claim to be. |

Alphaville and Masculin Feminin are my personal favorites. Godard is brilliant.

So far i've seen like 15 films of his.
Most of the 50-60's are awesome, also Notre musique, Détective and Prénom Carmen are great. The collection of four short films (released by ECM) is great, one of them "Je vous salue, Sarajevo" is one my all time favorites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItEHvYi8KZI

My favorite moment in Weekend is that looooooooooong shot of the highway... that 10+ minute tracking shot, showing a million cars, a boat, giraffes, dead bodies, etc. I had no idea this shot was in the movie when I first watched it so when it came on I was blown away.

I think the greatest part about that shot is how bad it made me feel... it totally makes me rethink slow traffic on the interstate.
but think about it. we're so desensitized we don't even give a hoot if someone died on the road, we just want to go about our day and not give a fuck about anyone else. and i think godard captured that perfectly.

The only Godard movie I've seen is Band of Outsiders, but I liked it a bit. I wanna see Breathless, Contempt, and Alphaville, but dunno which one to see first.

i think you have to be a hopeless romantic trapped inside a badass rebels body to really appreciate breathless.. so watch that one last or first depending on how those adjectives describe you.
