Thanks to Sean Young for alerting me to Ted Fendt’s great new article continuing the criticism of Richard Brody’s Everything is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard begun by Adrian Martin and Bill Krohn. Fendt provides an important contextualization (as well as a corrective to Brody’s misleading reading) of Adieu au TNS (1998).
