A director that's not afraid to take risks, and is truly dedicated to the humanity of cinema. My inspiration.

"We once believed we were auteurs but we weren't. We had no idea, really. Film is over. It's sad nobody is really exploring it. But what to do? And anyway, with mobile phones and everything, everyone is now an auteur." The Lumière disease strikes the best of us... :(

If filmmaking had followed Godard's lead we wouldn't be in the mess we're in. Here in our alternate reality, Godard became a lone wolf kicking ever more wildly against 'the acceptable' instead of becoming it. The real result of that potential would be: fiction and documentary smashed together into a true, total cinematic experience.

Esta nota apareció el pasado 29 de enero de 2012 y pone en claro que godard es quien es, uno de los más grandes creadores de formas del siglo xx y xxi (lo que no podría ser si su pensamiento fuera rústico y pedestre): Pocas personas conocen el arte de robar para crear como Godard; el director de cine dona en defensa de James Climent, acusado de descargar más de 13 mil MP3 por internet. Uno de los más grandes directores de la historia del cine, Jean Luc Godard, alguna vez dijo: “No es de dónde tomas las cosas, es a dónde las llevas”. Esto podría aplicarse a los derechos de autor y a la remediatización, un arte dominado por el director de un film como Alphaville donde la voz de Borges, de Eluard, la visión de Orwell y las películas de gangsters se entretejen invisiblemente a la narrativa de las más poética ciencia ficción negra. Godard ha demostrado que hace lo que dice, en este caso donando mil euros a la defensa legal de James Climent, un ciudadano francés multado 20 mil euros por descargar 13, 788 audios MP3. Godard leyó una nota sobre los problemas de BitTorrent de Climent en la publicación Liberation y decidió ayudarlo. Cuando por primera vez fue contactado por el padrino de la nueva ola francesa, Climent pensó que se trataba de una mala broma. Después de la recibir la ayuda, Climent publicó un blog post en agradecimiento con título “”God(ard) bless us.” Al respecto Godard dijo: “Estoy en contra del Hadopi (la ley francesa de coyright en internet), obviamente. La propiedad intelectual no existe, estoy en contra de la herencia (de obras), por ejemplo. Los hijos de un artista podrían beneficiarse de los derechos de autor del trabajo de sus padres hasta que cumplen la mayoría de edad… Pero después, no me queda claro porque los hijos de Ravel deben de obtener ganancias del Bolero”.

Some guy was selling a Panasonic 3D camera on a swiss e-bay type of portal (http://www.fr.ricardo.ch/acheter/audio-tv-et-video/camescopes/camescopes-numeriques/panasonic/camera-3d-panasonic-ag-3da1/v/an645107844/) pretending it was the camera used by Godard for preparing his new movie "Adieu au Language" Who Knows? Maybe it's true...

'Referencing’ is sometimes viewed as stealing rather than a passive collecting and even hoarding of the millions of potentially inspirational footage that bombards all available screens. Godard fully understood and utilized this act of theft-with-integrity and substantiated his ‘crimes’ by claiming that “It’s not where you take things from-it’s where you take them to”. Authenticity vs. originality

Every time I sit down to watch a Godard film, I know I won't be disappointed. I don't understand people like the previous poster moaning about his politics. If you don't like it, don't watch it. But don't criticize Godard for putting his entire philosophies into his films, they are HIS films after all.

What good is it? Who is he gonna change with such steep political films? Band of Outsiders and Masculin Feminin for example, are pretty escapes and carry no torch which is what I love.

Sometimes he's a little intense and, quite honestly, he's become somewhat of a bitter old man now, but I can't fault him for that. He's always fighting against something. Coutard said it was his nature to do so. I love his films and I love him.

I've only seen his '60's films (and not even all of them, I'm still working through them)... does anyone have any recommendations on some of his later works that I might enjoy? My favorites so far are "Pierrot le fou," "Breathless" and "Vivre sa vie." Thanks!
