## GODARD CINEMA Plus Godard’s TRAILER OF A FILM THAT WILL NEVER EXIST: PHONY WARS
Movie Description:
Over 60 years and 140 films, no filmmaker evokes the essence of cinema more than Jean-Luc Godard. He was the French New Wave, and much more: artistic rebel, political provocateur, theorist and professor, enigmatic misanthrope. In search of the “perfect cinema,” he pursued relentlessly an art form that was all-encompassing of love, beauty, revolution — all the while reinventing himself alongside the medium itself. In six parts that move dynamically through Godard’s extraordinary and sometimes confounding evolution — from BREATHLESS (1960) to his Maoist militant period and collaboration with Jean-Pierre Gorin, to his mainstream return with EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF and PASSION, and his magnum opus, HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA — this rich portrait draws from candid new interviews with family, frenemies, and muses (Nathalie Baye, Julie Delpy, Hanna Schygulla). Packed with iconic scenes from his oeuvre, and archival footage featuring intimate, off-script moments with both Godard the filmmaker and Godard the man.
Runtime: 120 minutes
