There is a way to much echo in the voice. I understood almost nothing…
I recognized the shot from Parajanov’s Colour of Pomegranates. Even though I have a very limited understanding of French, I think I understood a good chunk of it. Clearly, the history and a reflection of cinema is his focus here, but I’m not too sure of this – it may also be about some sort of rebirth of cinema.
I knew it was a Parajanov, but not which one, thanks for that Eli!

whats the context for this short? is it part of “histoire du cinema”?
it would appear so. this isnt actually brand new is it?

Possible assumption: what if for films like this, Godard is not using music so much as quotations or references, but for the effect, and the beauty. (There undoubtedly is a second layer which may or may not be a quotation, but I think that that is indeed a second layer and not the first.)
Possible train of thought: if this is true for sound, why not for images? I recognize only one visual quote from this (the still from Rebecca), but does this ignorance matter? I used to think so, but now I’m not so sure.
