HISTOIRE(S) DU CINÉMA

Jean-Luc Godard transformed the face
of cinema with his prolific, influential and
revolutionary body of work which in-
cludes such classics as ‘Breathless’,
‘Weekend’ and ‘Slow Motion’ to name but
a few.

His video series ‘Histoire(s) du Cinema’, consisting of eight episodes made over a period of ten years, is an extraordinary look at the medium through the eyes of this unique filmmaker.

Hugely ambitious in scope, the series covers a wide range of topics from the birth of cinema to Italian neo-realism to Hollywood and beyond. A dazzling montage of sight and sound, ‘Histoire(s) du Cinema’ features a diverse array of film extracts, contributions from – among others – Juliette Binoche and Alfred Hitchcock, and an eclectic music soundtrack ranging from Beethoven to Leonard Cohen.
