Marxist film theory

Jean-Luc Godard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Godard's engagement with German playwright Bertolt Brecht stems primarily from his attempt to transpose Brecht's theory of epic theatre and its prospect of alienating the viewer (Verfremdungseffekt) through a radical separation of the elements of the medium (in Brecht's case theater, but in Godard's, film). Godard said of it that it is "a film in which individuals are considered as things, in which chases in a taxi alternate with ethological interviews, in which the spectacle of life is intermingled with its analysis". The refrain throughout the cinematic period of Godard is that of the bourgeoisie’s consumerism, the commodification of daily life and activity, and man’s alienation— all central issues of Marx’s condemning analysis of capitalism. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jean-Luc_Godard   (3552 words)

the godard experience Later in that year, Godard was furious over the firing of Henri Langlois as the head of the French 'Cinémathèque' and he left the group with Jean-Pierre Gorin to form the 'Dziga-Vertov' group. 1963 - Godard completed a film in homage to Jean Vigo entitled Les carabiniers which was a failure with the public and stirred furious controversy with film critics. Godard wrote a gossip column for the journal, but also spent much time writing scenarios for films and a body of critical writings which placed him firmly in the forefront of the 'nouvelle vague' aesthetic, precursing the French New Wave. www.carleton.edu /curricular/MEDA/classes/media110/Friesema/intro.html   (1028 words)

Jean-Luc Godard / films / director / biography / French New Wave Jean-Luc Godard was born in Paris in 1930. Godard’s popularity was established in the mid-1960s with a string of popular and critically acclaimed films (many featuring his wife at the time, Anna Karina). Godard remained in the wilderness for several more years, making films for his own amusement, before making a comeback in the commercial arena with his 1979 film, Sauve qui peut. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_jlgodard.html   (737 words)

bfi Features Jean-Luc Godard: About Godard Jean-Luc Godard was born into a wealthy Swiss family in France in 1930. Godard's reputation for being a bitter and reclusive figure clearly does not go unnoticed, but is not observed without humour, as a recent anecdote in the New Yorker illustrates. Godard's obsession with cinema beyond all else led to alienation from his family who cut off his allowance. www.bfi.org.uk /features/godard/biography.html   (508 words)

French culture cinema: Jean-Luc Godard Godard's impact on the cinema of the 60s was cataclysmal and sweeping and his contribution to the art, thought, and language of the cinema significant. Gradually, Godard's films were becoming stripped of structure and conventional dramatic form, with an increasing emphasis on film as an essay, and cinema as a political and social instrument. Although he seemed to be inching back to the fringes of the mainstream, Godard remained inaccessible to general audiences and even seasoned cinema sophisticates seemed puzzled by and less than wholly comfortable with his films of the late 80s and 90s. www.frenchculture.org /cinema/festival/godard   (1339 words)

Jean-Luc Godard (general discussion) Jean-Luc Godard is one of the best-known names in film history even though, as he correctly surmises, his audiences are small. Godard says the film is not an autobiography but a "self-portrait," showing, accurately, the director living a life of quiet anonymity. Godard has said that film is "the truth 24 times a second," and he believes that Hollywood has buried cinema's search for truth beneath the search for marketable "concepts." Most American directors "are like orphans," he says. www.industrycentral.net /director_interviews/JLG01.HTM   (3188 words)

BBC - Films -article article - Jean-Luc Godard Jean-Luc Godard has made almost 100 films in his career, although few can name any made after the creative outburst in the 60s that propelled him to the forefront of France's Nouvelle Vague (New Wave). Godard became increasingly isolated, and his films more inaccessible, with a couple of comparatively commercial ventures, "Sauve qui peut" (1979) or "Helas pour moi" with Gerard Depardieu (1993) being the exceptions. Thereafter, Godard entered the most overtly politicized period of his career with the formation of the Dziga-Vertov group. www.bbc.co.uk /films/2001/06/07/jean_luc_godard_profile_article.shtml   (310 words)

WELLSPRING : Jean-Luc Godard : cast_crew For five decades, Jean-Luc Godard has explored the frontiers of film, constantly reinventing and reinvigorating himself and demonstrating the immense potential of the cinematic form. Godard’s next project is an omnibus film, “Paris, je t’aime,” in which he joins a number of international directors—including the Coen Brothers, Mike Figgis, Walter Salles, Mira Nair, Tom Tykwer, Michel Gondry and Anne-Marie Miéville—in making a short film about a Paris arrondissement. While Godard’s reputation as a reclusive figure is well known, he has displayed a humorous self-awareness both outside and inside his films (where he often appears as himself). www.wellspring.com /movies/text.html?movie_id=59&page=cast_crew&sidebar=389   (970 words)

Salon People Jean-Luc Godard But Godard seems to have lost all interest in what's going on beneath the flesh, and even the assumption that something is. "Kids today are scum," he declares in "First Name: Carmen" in his role as "Uncle Jean," a broken-down old movie director. In this sort of love story between a small-time French hood (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and an American girl (Jean Seberg) abroad, Godard got at the intersecting and clashing sensibilities of the two cultures that had formed him. The growth Godard shows in the 15 movies he made between 1959's "Breathless" ("A bout de souffle") and 1967's apocalyptic and deeply frightening "Weekend" covers a distance in style and sensibility that most filmmakers don't approach in a lifetime. www.salon.com /people/rewind/1999/08/07/godard   (934 words)

Gerald Peary - essays - Jean-Luc Godard MacCabe talks of Godard's "complete indifference to normal social convention," and imagines Godard at a party, displaying "an asocial silence which could freeze a room instantly." As a child in Switzerland, Jean-Luc was a thief and shoplifter. Godard was never the greatest human being, though he's long settled down, residing since 1970 in a small Swiss town with filmmaker Anne-Marie Mieville. Anna Karina was a runaway girl from Denmark who, after Godard spotted her in a bubble-bath commercial, starred in his classic works (Vivra sa Vie, Pierrot le fou, etc.), and became, briefly, Mme. www.geraldpeary.com /essays/ghi/godard.html   (604 words)

Jean-Luc Godard Jean-Luc Godard has constantly walked a tightrope between the depiction of his basest desires and the expression of an inner urging to seek a higher, more spiritual road. Indeed, it can be argued that Godard has yet to make a "film", and that he is actually continuously in the act of making a film and that his resultant films serve to document this ongoing process. Doubting, fearing, sensing impending doom, Godard lives in a fragmented world devoid of true understanding of the world around him, and his films accurately reflect this state of spiritual fragmentation and incompleteness. www.hal-pc.org /~questers/Godard.html   (2614 words)

French Films Godard and Resnais also shared Vertov's left wing politics, as did most filmmakers strongly influenced by the Soviet school of the 1920's, although Resnais' political views seem far more anarchist than Marxist. I loved Godard's quotation from, and tribute to Bazin in Contempt, for example, and Godard's meditation on the coffee cup in Two or Three Things is the high point of the movie.

The Films of Jean-Luc Godard Godard has established a reputation as a rebel who can work within and outside the system, producing films that are creative, breathtakingly beautiful, and yet commercial enough to earn back their production costs. Godard's unique position is as futurist archivist, anticipating how present society's incipient ruins will be read. By performing an anatomy on the corpus of Godardian cinema, Dixon discovers not only that Godard has pronounced the death of cinema in his own films but also that the cinematic genre, medium and discipline might well be dead. eng-wdixon.unl.edu /godardtext.html   (662 words)

Jean-Luc Godard: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries Godard was central to the new wave of cinema, so much so that nearly all other films could be taken as proofs of his criticism, illustrations of his theories, and gestures toward his own brazen attempts at film. Godard describes this film as a "self-portrait" rather than an "autobiography." Analysis of the film reveals that Godard's focus is on the death of himself as an author. Godard is best known for his contributions to the New Wave cinema of the early 1960s, but the retrospective of his works at the Museum of Modern Art proves that he is still making thought-provoking works. www.lib.berkeley.edu /MRC/godardbib.html   (12277 words)

the godard experience This film gave Belmondo his first big role and Jean Seberg is exquisite under Godard's direction. Godard threw away the rigidity of French conventions by using hand-held camera techniques and natural settings, giving his film a fluidity and a spontaneity in keeping with the life and character of his protagonist. In the void into which the youth of the times had fallen into, Godard could see only love to save them. www.carleton.edu /curricular/MEDA/classes/media110/Friesema/breathless.html   (309 words)

French Culture Cinema Jean-Luc Godard: Breathless (1959) Former "Cahiers du Cinéma" critic Jean-Luc Godard used everything he had learned from years of movie watching in his debut feature -- creating an enormously influential film and a seminal study of existential longing and betrayal. Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg play two young lovers on the run from the law after Belmondo kills a cop and steals a car. The movie that heralded the French New Wave movement, this lean and exciting feature broke new ground not only in its unorthodox use of editing and hand-held photography, but in its unflinching and nonjudgmental portrayal of amoral youth. www.frenchculture.org /cinema/releases/godard/breathless.html   (269 words)
