“I want to say in the case of Godard of course, you don't have to be told twice to go and see him. I went to see him. I didn't know him at that time. Godard, I knew his name but I was very out of touch with what was going on in cinema. I had just arrived from Holland. And I remember that I went there really... I was... it was really an audition like any other for me. I had no idea.”

FIRST NAME: CARMEN

JEAN-LUC GODARD France, 1983

Godard stars as an eccentric filmmaker in this fragmentary love poem from his 1980s period. Loosely based on Bizet’s opera, First Name: Carmen reinvents cinema into elliptical broken rhythms and passages of poetry to renew one of the oldest of tales: that of two lovers on the run.
