A
compiling of the best
and most spectacular moments of the French-Swiss film maker Jean-Luc Godard
on TV in thirty years of interviews, images, and controversy: from a young
film maker in 1960 until today, and on, through his contesting innovating
spirit.
Famous
and controversial in cinema for the last forty years, Godard has been
a personality of the media. His presence on TV has never and will never
be mediocre, trite. One of the founders of Nouvelle Vague in the sixties,
militant and a creator in the seventies of Politique des Auteurs (where
the director is sole author in producing a film) and a theoretician of
image in the eighties and nineties, he defines television as a mere happening.
This is so, because in his opinion, "something" always happens on TV.
His participation generates unforgettable moments or, in other words,
subverts television routine. In Godard's opinion, television generates
the forgetfulness, and cinema, memory.
