Publisher description
The Films of Jean-Luc Godard examines the work of one of the most versatile
and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. With a career ranging from
France's New Wave movement in the early 1960s to a period of political
experimentation in the late 1960s and 70s, and, currently, a contemplative
period in which Godard has explored issues of spirituality, sexuality, and the
aesthetics of sound, image, and montage, the filmmaker's work defies easy
categorization. In this study, David Sterritt offers an introductory overview
of Godard's work as a filmmaker, critic, and video artist. In subsequent
chapters, he traces Godard's visionary ideas through six of his key films,
including Breathless, My Life to Live, Weekend, Numero deux, Hail Mary, and
Nouvelle Vague formats. Linking Godard's works to key social and cultural
developments, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard explains their importance in
modernist and postmodernist art of the last half century. Sterritt's work explains the importance of Godard's films in modernist and
postmodernist art.
