FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY: THE FILMS OF JEAN-LUC GODARD
Thu, Feb 20, 2014 - Thu, Mar 6, 2014

Godard was the French New Wave’s most radical director in form, with each new work seemingly rewriting the grammar of film. Jump cuts, asynchronous soundtracks, self-narration, cinema as essay, cinema as collage, self-referential cinema, cinema of anarchy – you name it, Godard’s oeuvre redefined cutting-edge. While his stylistic innovations have been adopted by many others, the beautiful chaos of Godard’s world still seems fresh.
