A description by Craig Keller: “There are things in this movie we have never seen nor imagined”.

Some pics of Godard filming Adieu au langage. One is so nice that I’ll leave it as the permanent header for awhile…

Olive Films will release Soigne ta droite (Keep Your Right Up) and Comment Ca Va on DVD and Blu-Ray June 25th. Thanks to Christopher Trice for the heads up!

Julie Perron’s 2000 documentary Mai en décembre (Godard en Abitibi) recounts Godard’s 1968 visit to Quebec.

Godard’s latest is a compilation with Peter Greenaway and Edgar Pêra, on the history of cinema in 3D, or the history of 3D cinema, or something. It’s closing Critics Week at Cannes (May 16-24). This seems to be the film made for Guimarães.

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).
