Jean-Luc Godard’s Histoire(s) du cinéma at UCLA
February 7th, 2006 by Andre Soares
Jean-Luc Godard’s 260-minute Histoire(s) du cinéma (1998), will be screened in two parts Friday and Sunday at the University of California Los Angeles’ James Bridges Theater. As per Kevin Thomas’s Los Angeles Times piece, "A flickering history of love, mortality" Godard’s documentary "is not like any other history of the cinema, such as Martin Scorsese’s masterly, straightforward survey of Italian films (My Voyage to Italy). Throughout its entirety, Godard’s Histoire(s) verges on the surreal, a soaring collage of clips, stills, images of great paintings, classical and modern, accompanied by passages of music and dialogue."
Senses of Cinema offers a dissertation on Jean-Luc Godard (by Craig Keller) and numerous stills from Histoire(s) du cinéma.
