Of course, the collaboration with Coppola mentioned at the beginning of this interview never happened. It was "a failed effort to make a Bugsy Siegel movie called The Story, with Francis Ford Coppola producing and Diane Keaton attached as one of the leads." Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
Dick is so far out of his league on this interview. He knows nothing about his subject. Just throws headlines out and waits for a bite, before clumsily moving to the next inconsequential question. JL more than holds his own
Isn't that his style? Fish for good conversation points? I'm also not sure who could better interview him. Unless you had a one on one with Godard and Truffaut I guess
@@MK-hp8zr That would probably end up as a boxing match... Anyways, back to the original comment, it should be common knowledge that the french new wave was born as a counter-movement to Hollywood movie making, so big productions with the same actors playing the same sort of characters in the same 4/5 types of story. I don't say this because I think the nouvelle vague is better, but to put into perspective how different the approach to directing was. Godard doesn't want to simplify his artistic process to make it more digestible to American audiences, and Cavett isn't there to challenge Godard's statements and start a long, introspective debate on very personal directing choices. I'd say that this interview went better than I expected, with Godard using the X-Ray example as a metaphor for his films, and even a small bit of humour with the "But that space is ugly" comment. If you wanted a smoother back and forth, you shouldn't have come to a JLG interview, he says it himself that he doesn't want to be brief when praising (while also criticizing) a movie by someone like Scorsese.

I always found the demeanour of the new wave filmmakers and their contemporaries very strange. What they did in film was nothing new to the medium of storytelling, with everything they “pioneered” in terms of plot, narrative, themes etc. already being very old in everything from theatre to literature. With that in mind a lot of the dialogue which gets passed around like chalk at a snooker club because of its “brilliance” is at times downright embarrassing. It goes to the stage where the scene is at times something only celebrates itself. Much like contemporary art circles today on a local scale. All this experimentation, these vague notions, esoteric directions, and nonsensical plots and dialogues where everybody speaks in strange half sermons all to end up as clear levels below a countless number of playwrights, novelists, and poets. The arrogance and pretentiousness of the entire scene and the people involved is downright eye rolling.
You may be right, perhaps the dialogues are trite or pretentious. Perhaps the characters are. I’m not French so I can’t appreciate those films in the same way their intended audience would. For me I just enjoy them for yes, the pretentiousness, the lovely 60s monochrome, the women and the VIBES man.
Your struggle core attempted analysis is fucking hilarious and pitiful, I genuinely hope you have some success into your understanding of film and film history at some point in your life

Ain't that a shame that the project never worked out.
He changed movies forever with his marvellous and ground breaking film Breathless.
He was always just the fucking coolest, up to assisted suicide as his grand finale… what a fascinating and totally unique individual.
I was lucky to see his "Alphaville" and "Pierrot Le Feu" over a couple of evenings at Prague French Film Festival. Just fantastic ! The master !
ALPHAVILLE comes out on 4K disc soon too!
“But this space is ugly soooo…”
😂
American film = at least one car chase with loud ‘music’
This is the wrong context for Godard, really.
❤
I always found him more interesting as a personality rather than as a filmmaker
I was thinking just the opposite, but I find most directors to be narcissistic bores (it's possible to be both) when interviewed.
he was always a critic/filmmaker
His films are perfect for me. But I like slice of life and unsensational films. Feel more real.
🙄
I’m just here for all the triggered people
