TRUTH, 24 TIMES PER SECOND: THE FILMS OF JEAN-LUC GODARD

Released in 1960, Breathless announced the arrival of a filmmaker who has spent the intervening decades striving to redefine and reshape the medium. Spanning Jean-Luc Godard’s astonishingly prolific first decade, the films in the first part of this two-month season trace the director’s path from the rule-breaking energy of that iconic debut to the increasingly radical, self-reflexive experiments that would come to define his later work. The presence of Anna Karina, his Danish muse – and, for over four years, his wife – looms large throughout.

Collectively, the films chart JLG’s shifting preoccupations: the playful reinvention of genre in A Woman Is a Woman, Band of Outsiders, Alphaville, and Made in U.S.A.; the emotional and philosophical depth of collaborations with Anna Karina in Vivre sa vie, The Little Soldier, and Pierrot le Fou; and the sharp critiques of consumerism and contemporary life in A Married Woman, Masculin Féminin, and Two or Three Things I Know About Her.

Four tiles from Truth, 24 Times Per Second: The Films of Jean-Luc Godard will also be available on IFI@Home.
