Historie(s) of Cinema: 1A + 1B
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard
France, 93 minmins, DCP
All the (Hi)stories + A Single (Hi)story (Toutes les histoires + Une histoire seule)
In the first chapter, Godard contemplates the mythical power and glory of such classical Hollywood legends as movie mogul Irving Thalberg and billionaire Howard Hughes, even as it questions the potential and uses of the film medium as a descendant of photography, particularly with regards to sex and death. He then mourns the failed promise of cinema to develop as a uniquely dialectical medium based on the principle of montage, a failure attributed to the eclipse of silent cinema by the talkies and the dominance of Hollywood at the expense of other national cinemas.
