Via Les Films du Losange's tumblr comes a find so fantastic, I'm making today's a single-themed Briefing.
Cahiers du Cinéma in English, Number 10, appearing in May 1967 and edited by Andrew Sarris, features a still from Bresson's Mouchette on the cover, and inside: "Three Thousand Hours of Cinema," something of a diary by Jean-Luc Godard (sample entry: "In Positif, a remarkable article by Tailleur on Harper. A shame that one reads prose of that quality less and less often in Cahiers." He's also miffed that Sartre keeps turning down requests for an interview); Bertolucci, Michel Delahaye and Jean Narboni on Godard; an interview with Andy Warhol and two pieces on him (one by Sarris, the other by Serge Gavronsky); a Hitchcock package (including a piece by André Téchiné); best of 1966 lists, including submissions from Jacques Rivette, Alain Robbe-Grillet and dozens more; a Film Comment-like chart with stars and bombs mapping the ratings of a "Council of Ten" critics, presumably of films that were showing in Paris at the time.

Janus Films is sending Godard's Weekend (1967) out on tour across the States (with a jaunt up to Vancouver), starting with a two-week run at New York's Film Forum (October 7 through 20). Here's the eye-catching poster.

Anna Karina turns 72 today. Here's the 1959 soap commercial that caught JLG's eye:
