Histoire(s) du Cinéma 1b: A Single (Hi)story

198942 min6.6 / 10

A densely layered, formally experimental meditation on cinema's history and meaning, constructed as a personal essay-collage that privileges intellectual and aesthetic inquiry over narrative clarity.

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.
