This collection of essays and interviews, ranging from his early efforts for La Gazette du Cinema to his later writings for Cahiers du Cinema, reflects his dazzling intelligence, biting wit, maddening judgments, and complete unpredictability. This book offers evidence that he may be even more original as a thinker about film than as a director. Here is an outrageous self-portrait by a director who, even now, continues to amaze and bedevil, and to chart new directions for cinema and for critical thought about its history. AnnotationIconoclastic, edgy, and always provocative, Jean-Luc Godard was the bad boy of the French New Wave cinema. Like his contemporaries in the movement, he first entered the world of cinema as a critic, championing Hollywood heavyweights like Sam Fuller and Nicholas Ray, as well as lesser known international filmmakers. In 1959, his first film, A BOUT DE SOUFFLE (or BREATHLESS) established him as a visionary auteur, and still has a profound effect on filmmakers and audiences today. GODARD ON GODARD is a collection of this Gallic great's writings, and includes early criticism as well as his ponderings of his own early films and the process of making them. Together with the included interviews, these writings provide an in-depth portrait of a great artist at the birth of his career.
