5.0 out of 5 stars How to shoot language: a filmmaker path..., October 26, 2001

This review is from: JLG/JLG [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Godard is a kind of philosopher. Instead of using arguments he composes nonlinear narratives; thus he is a kind of structuralist philosopher whose main concerns are signs and its effects. But he does not choose treatise or aphorism in order to convey his views. He is a filmmaker, and one of the most intelligent directors alive. Images (faces, books, paintings, snow, woods and ocean) overlapped by words and music is his art, his "exception against the rule". (For instance, check how he blends Parts or Darling music with texts or book's title written by Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Cioran).
JLG/JLG is a self-portray. But is there a subject Godard? What is the relation between identity and language? The whole film is a patchwork of those rhetorical and vital obsessions; and it is a very good one.

I'd been wanting to see this for some time, and now thanks to certain internet cinematic "storage facilities" I got the chance. I can't really sum up my thoughts about the film past this; Godard has made more than a handful of brilliant films but I don't think he's ever made one as beautiful as this one. Bravo, you old Frenchie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, but not a good introduction to Godard., September 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: JLG/JLG [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a slow, but moving piece about Godard, directed by Godard. This isn't for anyone who has never seen anything by Godard. This is for those who truly enjoy Godard.
