[ Jean-Luc Godard initiated his radical video period with this startling
film that combines videotape and film, enabling him to superimpose
more than two images simultaneously. Made as part of the "Dziga Vertov
group," with Jean-Pierre Gorin and Anne-Marie Mieville, the film was
commissioned by the Palestinians and originally titled Until Victory.
The film's original purpose was to examine life in the Palestinian
camps. But following the defeat of the Palestine army in the Six Day
War, Ici et Ailleurs was radically transformed, becoming a meditation
on how cinema records history. Godard, Gorin and Mieville contrast a
French family ("Here") with an impressionstic portrait of Palestine
("Elsewhere") reflected and transmitted by television, books and
pictures. French with English subtitles.
= Co-directed by Anne-Marie Mieville, Jean-Luc Godard's work--combining
video and film--is a fascinating dialectic on the dissemination and
processing of information, both literary and visual. Two workers of a
communist newspaper strike out to make a film and video about the
newspaper and the printing plant. One of the workers, Odette
(Mieville), has strange ideas about content and form and how the film
should be made. Comment ca va? is a formally brilliant work about the
transmission of ideas by the major media. French with English
$ Jean-Luc Godard brilliantly mixes video and film, set in the
director's Grenoble studio. The action unfolds on two television
monitors. Godard secured the money for the film claiming the project
was a remake of Breathless. The elusive plot essentially concerns the
marital discord--set off by the wife's infidelity--between a young
working-class couple (Sandrine Battistella and Pierre Oudry) who live
in a claustrophobic, high rise apartment complex. The film, made in
collaboration with Anne-Marie Mieville, is a dialectic on the
relationship of sex and money. "I think it's something like a
masterpiece. Numero Deux is among the most visually compelling films
Godard has ever made. He uses his video monitors to invent a dozen new
ways of splitting the screen or layering the image. Compared to it,
every other movie in town is just a cavity on the screen" (J.
Hoberman, The Village Voice). With Alexandre Rignault and Rachel
Stefanopoli. French with English subtitles.
