Histoire(s) du Cinéma 2a: Only Cinema

A densely layered, essayistic meditation on cinema's history and meaning, constructed from fragmented images and ideas rather than narrative, that privileges intellectual and aesthetic contemplation over accessibility.

A very personal look at the history of cinema directed, written and edited by Jean-Luc Godard in his Swiss residence in Rolle for ten years (1988-98); a monumental collage, constructed from film fragments, texts and quotations, photos and paintings, music and sound, and diverse readings; a critical, beautiful and melancholic vision of cinematographic art.
