Histoire(s) du Cinéma 2b: Deadly Beauty
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
Produced by Gaumont
A densely layered, meditative essay-film that treats cinema history as a personal, philosophical meditation on art, mortality, and meaning through collage and fragmentation.
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.
