I don't know if Godard will ever know that a College boy in Bangladesh, gets up every morning uttering his name...May God give you a long life mr. Godard so that in next 10 years I shall PRODUCE a true film, earn money, go to Switzerland and meet you...
I'm a Turkish woman from Turkey, with my French then-boyfriend-now-husband (with kid), 7-8 years ago we went to Rolle to meet him, we couldn't, and we made our own little movie there of fifteen minutes and called it "histoire(s) d'amour", a silly little "Godard" film (maybe I'll upload it, come to think of it). We went to his house, nobody home, then Anne-Marie Melville came with her tiny yipping dog, she said Jean-Luc wasn't home. I remember then the second time we went, she put her head out of the window with her big hair and red rubber dishwashing gloves, and again, said he wasn't in, we gave her our little message to Godard in an envelope and we left. Rolle was so expensive, God. But it was the dearest adventure. (Update: we've uploaded it, it's "histoires d'amour" on Carroll Catcher's channel.)
Why this people don't ask him about Satyajit Ray? Ray praised Godard so many times...Ray gave an Interview where he talked about his favourite filmmakers and there he said,"I like Godard..early Godard, now Godard has become an alien to me but early Godard for his revolutionary approach to filmmaking that I have greatly admired." It was around 1983 when Ray gave the interview. I would have enjoyed that very much...how one giant of cinema would talk about the other...
The interviewer seemed far from being interested in Godard's work!! He actually seemed as if he's never seen his films and only following the question.
Brother, kindly watch the whole interview before posting an uninformed comment. When asked about Indian cinema and the paucity of Asian representation in his iconic Histoire(s) du cinéma at 1:09:16, Godard responds by saying that he has only seen one of Ray's film referring to the legendary movie Jalsaghar.
@@gaymerbruh2861 I noticed it then but I thought it wasn't Ray's music room. And another thing to look at is that Godard is talking here about filmmakers before him, for instance Mizoguchi and Ozu, as he reffered. But Ray is more or less his contemporary. So there is no question of historie(s) du cinema, which deals with films before Godard. And another point is I am quite sure that Godard knew Ray films quite enough rather than the music room because most of the Ray films had been shown at the cannes(even the first award Ray won was at cannes, a special jury prize for pather panchali) and the french critics were talking about, praising, criticising Ray all the time in cahiers du cinema. So how it came to happen that Godard wouldn’t know Ray? I think if the critic here asked him especially about Ray then we could hear something more than what he told us here.
His smile is just really beautiful. A great conversation, very witty, and his replies are really philosophical in sense.

Le meilleur d'entre nous, tire sa révérence, à 90 ans 🙏 Décidément, tu n'auras jamais rien fait comme les autres ! Mais c'est justement pour ça que nous t'aimons tant ! Merci beaucoup Jean-Luc, pour tout ce que tu as réalisé 🎥 "La solitude n'est pas l'isolement. On est toujours deux en un. Il y a les autres en soi." JLG.
translator especially, they let the most important question slip and get lost in translation: what happens to cinema as PUBLIC art. it’s irresponsible to let that slip away, maybe the translator forgot but she shouldn’t have, and the interviewer should have insisted. for me that was the whole point, it should have been the whole point.
Je suis très touché, presque boulversé par son manière de se souvenir. À propos de la société de surveillance Alphaville était un film prophétique. Ça me rend triste à apprendre que Monsieur Godard se sent de plus en plus seul. Cela est evident de son manière de parler très lentement. Les morceaux des souvenirs nostalgique..
Thanks for this beautiful interview. I am today launching my first movie: "Gramma story" here in RU-vid, for now I am retiree at 50 years old. But I always wanted to. Today the master Godard reminds me another master I could be together (smoke cigars and drink whiskey "smile") who in the 90's was 80 or 90 years old, a great art critic my country had, in memorium today Salvio de Oliveira. At that time we were together, we heard a lot and watched many movies, and one we could not was yours, called Je Vous Salue, Marie, forbidden in my country still today. I hope my movie could be enjoied as well. Thanks, LJL
Goddard sounds like a true dreamer. His insight and take on Cinema and life is beyond the factual information this Interviewer is trying to seek. It's actually kind of amusing watching these people try to Interview him.
@@squirtreynoldscinema Thanks a lot...Do you know if you search in that street in google street view, you can see Godard with Anne marie mieville. What a lucky coincidence! Don't believe me? Just go and check it out...I've just found that fact...
@@cine127 Yes, I've seen it. The street they're walking on is Rue de Temple in Rolle, which is about 100 metres from that address I posted above. Not sure if it's their home or office, but that's one of their addresses at least.
That phrase about the critics being like deserters in a war, who choose to fight for the enemy (the public), is very interesting and has so much meaning, you could say that critics betray art for the sake of having an audience for themselves, it's also interesting because it poses artists as people who oppose and defy their audience, who can even artistically fight their audience. Very interesting point of view.
The giggling after every answer is so annoying. Everything that he says is so powerful, I feel like the interviewer and translator are really out of their depth.
'He may even announce this ... but his cinema is solid and his followers will always be very grateful for the monumental cinematographic work. That's it!'
@@themovieaudiomashupproject18 I fully agree. The reason I mentioned Sen and Ray, it's because both are quite lauded in France and have been competing in Cannse, quite a number of times.
On souhaite que son chien soit guéri. Ici, son est un pronom tonique, comme adjectif. Donc son chien. Mais sa chienne. Alors il faudrait avoir une methode de la follie. J'ai eue une blessure dans mon pied droit. Je guerirai. Merci beaucoup pour cet entretien.
He's actually made several notable films over the last decade Film Socialisme, Goodbye to Language (in 3D) and finally The Image Book (all of them making several critics' end of year toplists) and has two upcoming projects as well. Not as active as he once was, but he is still pushing them out.
@@squirtreynoldscinema Jacques Rozier is also alive, though he has not made a feature since Maine Ocean in '86 (with the exception of an entirely unavailable film from 2001).
@@Kraisedion I was strictly speaking about the Cahiers group. Rozier was never a part of that and only got bankrolled to make Adieu Philippine (great film) by Beauregard thanks to Godard vouching for him.
