While outlining a new feature I've set a film viewing task for myself this month. Centered around the Los Angeles Premiere of Jean-Luc Godard's latest film "Goodbye To Language" at the Aero Theatre on January 23rd.
I've admittedly till now only focused on Godard's New Wave period, from "Breathless" (1960) through "Weekend" (1967). The fifteen films he made between those years have served as immense creative inspiration. So in anticipation of "Goodbye To Language," which was just named Best Picture by the National Society of Film Critics, I will be watching all of Godard's features from his present period, beginning with 1990's "Nouvelle Vague," including the entries from his series "Histoire(s) du cinéma."
Prior to viewing each film I'll read their corresponding chapters from Richard Brody's book "Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard." Odds are the context will prove valuable given the filmmaker.
My list of all the films can be found over on Letterboxd.
