Godard – “The first film without any cinematic references”

T said it perfectly…

“A true masterpiece, a perfect juxtaposition of Duras’ deep, humanist, poetic sensibilities and Resnais’ non-classical, incisive capacities to render memory and forgetting as visual image. The film speaks of love (true love, with all its incumbent tragedies and strife) and genocide in a single breath, and remains to this day one of the most powerful statements about war and reality ever committed to the screen.”
