Esse doc é fantástico. Me fez querer conhecer muito mais o trabalho de Varda e atualmente, é minha documentarista favorita. Realmente godard foi muito infeliz nesse tratamento a ela. De todo modo... Viva, Varda!
Pior que nem é culpa dele. A produção já sabia que ele não iria aparecer, pois ele havia negado a aparição no documentário. No entanto eles não avisaram pra Varda porque eles queriam usar a situação para tirar uma reação dela.

He lost the opportunity to see his former friend Agnès Varda for the last time. She died shortly after. They had known each other since the late 1950s. (J'espère que la traduction est correcte, je ne parle pas bien anglais).
The impostors here are all those commentators who give their opinion on a personal story of friendship and estrangement. It is not because JR and Varda had the bad taste to film this episode that everyone can become a specialist in Godard's character & behaviour. Godard left a personal message to Varda, and only she can think something of it (to blame him, or not). Our society produces arrogant voyeurists, compared to whom Godard is a monster of humility.
I remember at the Curzon Mayfair in London for the Faces Places Q&A. One person asked Varda about Godard and she said *SCREW HIM* and JR had his view that Godard hated being nostalgic.
She left a beautiful answer. Give me your pencil is ironic. She's mocking him and his references by this reference to an old popular french song, which is beautiful and poetic (and also has a hidden sexual meaning, by the way, but it's surely not relevant here). The name of the man in the song is Pierrot, who is an archetypal figure of the sad clown, and a reference to Pierrot le fou. Varda replaces Pierrot by Jacquot. Then she is mocking his memory, which is actually either resentment, rancour. And she adresses it to the artist JLG, not to Jean-Luc, because she is really kind.
When Agnes' husband Jacques died he wrote a specific message, "A la ville de Douarnenez", a restaurant that Jacques, Agnes, and JL all ate at frequently. That's all he wrote, not sorry for your loss, not a long epitaph, just that. Knowing they were showing up, he wrote the same message on the door to be a petty asshole.
I feel bad for Varda here :( she’s a sweet lady. Godard is a piece of shit but one of the greatest and most innovative filmmakers. Varda is one of the greats as well.
@@lukess.s The real question is, did anybldy ask whether or not someone asked him? And another question, who could have asked him? Youre the second reply
I hope so too, but it must have been a bit later if so. When she was promoting the film after its release Varda was asked if JLG had seen the film, and she said she had sent him a copy but never received a reply.
Why didn't they just continue filming it to see what happens when he comes out? That would have been 'Jean-Luc from 5 to 7' or whatever the timeframe was!
i’m trying to imagine an alternative to this, like JLG inviting them in and there being loads of laughs and tears and hugs. i thought that seemed like it would never happen but i guess it could’ve done
it’s going a bit far to call JLG names though. lots of old ppl dont wanna be on camera. maybe he had diarrhoea that day or has early dementia. point is not to go too far in criticising ppl who are absent
"a la ville de douarnenez" means "the meeting in Samarra" ! Varda and her camera and her mise en scène ... I love the ashtray on the window sill ^^ how to say f**off or I will never forget you and Jacques with amu-zing grace. sacré Jean Luc.
Very sad. But there is a detail: Varda wasn't visiting him as a friend. She was visiting as a filmmaker. As gross as he was, it may be more complex than it appears to be.
Knowing Varda from his movies and how she treats people, I don't think she just went to see him as a filmmaker, but as a friend. If Godard had asked him to turn off everything or delete that part, I'm sure she would have done it, because Varda always cared about people, in the end they were the center of his cinema. I find no excuse to do something like that to someone who, as far as we know, were friends.
@@matiasescalante7752 Knowing how Godard reacted to Truffaut after Day for Night (how offended he can become, how hurt he was, etc.) I would’ve communicated better with Godard if I was his friend and wanted to pull up on him like this. Who knows his side of the story-i just think it’s too harsh to judge Godard without knowing exactly his reasons.
Godard commited a rational suicide, no one knew godard, how can you blame him? maybe Agnes knew something, and i think really, that is the reason why she was sad, she think, maybe after all those years, they could have a talk, but godard was dead, and how could you talk to a grave?
Are we sure he was trying to hurt her? So the three of them used to eat (and probably enjoy a friendship) there at this "Ville de Douarnenez" restaurant. Godard writes “to the Ville De Douarnenez” when Jacques dies. Was that to hurt? For me it's like trying to evoke those past memories of their friendship. And then he writes now again on the glass to remind her of the importance of their friendship to him, despite perhaps not being able or not predisposed for whatever reason to see her. Or maybe he wasn't willing to see her after too long through the excuse of a camera and a film and felt a bit offended by that. Why are we so sure he was trying to hurt her?
I don't see anything offensive about the message. Also, someone showed up with a camera crew and he doesn't have a right to not want to be filmed? This was blown way out of proportion.
Lmao no it isn't. Just accept that some people are shitty people and deal with the fact that they can also have creativity and that moves people. If you don't think that their talent excuses their behaviour, then just don't excuse it. Not that complicated.

Godard has his moments, but you can definitely sense his misanthropic tendencies through all his movies. He wants his characters to die or live sad, meaningless lives. And some of his stuff hasn't even aged well or isn't that deep anymore. Varda made documentaries on the marginalized and important leaders (ie Black Panthers), films that brought meaning in sadness and had a unique female gaze in a male dominated movement. I saw her at an event shortly before she passed away, she was so humble. Her talent will live on ❤️
@@lucieblaise8793 No, so I'm not going to put words in his mouth, stand on his shoulders, and tell everybody here in the comment section what he wanted like you just did, poser.
So, for some context; Godard had already told the team who helped Varda for the film that he didn't want to appear on the movie (and the reason, even, was somewhat of justified: he thought that by appearing right through the end of it, it would make it a little less Varda, and he would be the focus, which he did consider unfair). The crew, then, decided to not tell Varda about it, wishing to capture her "authentic" expression about it. Godard did never wish to be cruel or attack Varda by any means, and if there's fault to somenone, it relies on the crew who decided to not tell a 89 years old woman and make her suffer in front of the camera just because they wished for "authenticity"
What’s funny is that Varda admitted later that she liked that this happened because she thought this made this film better. Godard is not the one to give you the convenient thing that you want, no matter how rude it may be.
To be fair, and Agnès said so a couple years later, it made for a better movie that Jean-Luc acted like such an asshole here. Dramatically his actions spawned a very emotional scene, even if it hurts as heck seeing the sweet treasure Agnès Varda being hurt to tears. 😢 So since Varda's documentary film became stronger, one could argue that she had the last laugh. She went on to reveive an Oscar nomination for best documentary for this. Godard never received an Oscar nomination, although both him and Agnès were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Oscars.

@@sewagedump I really do wonder why you care so much? I've seen you a lot in this comment section and you seem really irritated on people not liking godard.
Contexts are important. JLG and Varda had been friends for over 60 years at this point. Everyone who knows JLG knows that he has, for his entire life, communicated aphoristically and, here, to Varda, cryptically, yet with a great deal of particularity to and for her. Notice that Varda has zero difficulty interpreting what Godard had conveyed. The reference to the restaurant “could” be a complex of emotions, positions, memories, the constellation of their friendship precisely etched on that glass. However, at the same time, Varda and her friend are clearly making a doc [from which this clip was pulled] and therefore trying to compel JLG take part in it. He doesn’t owe that to her or anyone, just as no viewer owes it to be a part of someone else’s enterprise if they choose to decline. Varda knows this and she is playing for the camera. She didn’t have to include this footage. One has to ask, Why, then, did she and co-director choose to use it? Her personal friendship with Godard could have been conducted on the phone or, perhaps, privately in person, off camera. Varda went out not only to buy a brioche but a permanent marker. In this context, for 5 Euros Varda had a scene.
Not quite: Godard agreed to meet up with her then stood her up. I think it's worth remembering that in the 1970s he offended Francois Truffaut with a similarly cryptic message... then after Truffaut died, said he regretted their rift and paid tribute to his old friend... then, with Varda, he made the same mistake all over again. Keeping journalists at arm's length with aphorisms and cryptic utterances (to maintain your privacy, or perpetuate a mystique around yourself, or whatever) is one thing, but doing it with your oldest friends is another.
@@drparnassus2867 All that is clear is that Godard expected her arrival, hence the prepared message - yet, meet with her, not necessarily her camera. That’s the point here. Truffaut doesn’t belong to this discussion. Conflation aside, Godard, who’s not only active but vigorous at 91 in Rolle, remains averse to human commodification - recall that across all periods of his work, prostitution is a primary motif - and this could not have been lost on Varda. Point still stands: she was trying to capitalize on their friendship. Even in his absence, she did. The scene is disingenuous and its existence is curious.
If he didn't want to be on camera, he could have done an adult thing and tell her that over a telephone, e-mail or through any form of correspondence. But no pretentious loser made her travel from France to Switzerland only to leave her with a six word note on a glass window ...
Minor effort may reveal a more nuanced grasp of the scene and its parts. My initial post addresses your assumptions. Primary is the guided, implicit assumption that Varda is not a manipulator in the scene she constructed. How odd. Consider how films are built. Fallacies such as ad hominem attacks, like the video’s title and your repetition of it here, are designed to precondition perception. Hence, the animus in all these responses correspondingly follows in step with AV’s message of being a victim of JLG’s mistreatment instead of inviting greater scrutiny. Why is this problematic?
Goddamn, it pisses me off to see Agnes upset here. Whatever the context, I hope Godard privately apologised to her before her passing. He is a legend for sure (as AV is), but comes across as a rude, arrogant prat here.
Varda>>> Godard I just think he’s just a sexist pretentious film bro, Varda is the real deal, human, empathic and cheerful with a real perspective on human emotions and their stories

Wow, well considering what Godard was, that's a very ironic comment. And JR was there supporting his friend Agnes--you do know the film is about them? Instead of sad, little Jean-Luc.

Godard left a personal message to Varda, and only she can think something of it (to blame him, or not). Our society produces arrogant voyeurists, compared to whom Godard is a monster of humility.
Years later, I had the opportunity to talk at length about this mysterious scene with Rosalie Varda, Agnès' daughter and producer of her latest films, including Visages, villages. In the course of our dialogue, she gave me to understand that the production team already knew that Godard would not appear, that he had left them standing, but they did not tell Agnès. When they turned on the cameras, she was convinced Godard would be there. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but they wanted to capture his natural reaction, which was to call him a "rat.""[Jean-Luc] sent me a kind of photo collage of Agnés [after her death]," said Rosalie Varda, who produced Visages, villages.
"It was something very special. It's a secret. But he sent me something very beautiful. I think he cared a lot about Agnès. He saw all her films."

@@veagacastro3045 JR (the co-director of this film) said the same thing. He tells Agnes that he felt Godard not showing up made the film better, and he was right. I think Agnes realized that, too, even though her feelings were still hurt.
The note she left on JLG's door is the level of cool-bad-bitching I wanna achieve in life
“But I’ll leave a heart anyway” is such a cool move.
I love the interpretation Agnes brought to this scene. She saw Jean Lucs message as him participating in the film. She took it as him playing his part in the story of this film.
I'm just happy JR was there with her. It was very touching to see him rubbing her shoulder like that. The dynamic between them through the whole film is so sweet.
it's a show.
JR is a cynical vampire.

Esse doc é fantástico. Me fez querer conhecer muito mais o trabalho de Varda e atualmente, é minha documentarista favorita. Realmente godard foi muito infeliz nesse tratamento a ela. De todo modo... Viva, Varda!
Pior que nem é culpa dele. A produção já sabia que ele não iria aparecer, pois ele havia negado a aparição no documentário. No entanto eles não avisaram pra Varda porque eles queriam usar a situação para tirar uma reação dela. A crueldade na real tá mais na produção do que na ação do Godard, inclusive a Varda reconheceu isso anos depois e entendeu o que realmente aconteceu. Inclusive, li isso um dia desses:
Rosalie talked about it with her mother several times afterwards because she had very mixed feelings about the scene, but ultimately decided to leave it in the final cut. Agnès, who died almost two years after filming, came to understand what her old friend did, or at least thought he had done: "I really think it was a very generous act on his part. And that's what my mother came to understand. Jean-Luc knew that if he appeared in the last sequence of the film, he would steal the entire film. It would no longer be my mother's last film, but Godard's last appearance."
Jean-Luc Godard's obituary line by Carlos Reviriego, El Español,
He lost the opportunity to see his former friend Agnès Varda for the last time. She died shortly after. They had known each other since the late 1950s. (J'espère que la traduction est correcte, je ne parle pas bien anglais).

@@boobysr No. You are a sophist.
@@vraikorrigan what do you mean by monster of humility?
I remember at the Curzon Mayfair in London for the Faces Places Q&A. One person asked Varda about Godard and she said *SCREW HIM* and JR had his view that Godard hated being nostalgic.
She left a beautiful answer. Give me your pencil is ironic. She's mocking him and his references by this reference to an old popular french song, which is beautiful and poetic (and also has a hidden sexual meaning, by the way, but it's surely not relevant here). The name of the man in the song is Pierrot, who is an archetypal figure of the sad clown, and a reference to Pierrot le fou. Varda replaces Pierrot by Jacquot. Then she is mocking his memory, which is actually either resentment, rancour. And she adresses it to the artist JLG, not to Jean-Luc, because she is really kind.
Bro, everyone is calling this guy a piece of shit and I have no idea what is happening.
When Agnes' husband Jacques died he wrote a specific message, "A la ville de Douarnenez", a restaurant that Jacques, Agnes, and JL all ate at frequently. That's all he wrote, not sorry for your loss, not a long epitaph, just that. Knowing they were showing up, he wrote the same message on the door to be a petty asshole.
@@cameronacaves what does that mean
@@tufank1900 probably that they stopped eating there frequently or maybe some rift happened at that restaurant between them

Pensé que era un sketch cómico, no tenía idea de qué era un documental
Faces places, está bueno.
Very sad. But there is a detail: Varda wasn't visiting him as a friend. She was visiting as a filmmaker. As gross as he was, it may be more complex than it appears to be.
Well said. I think people forget this element to the meeting
Knowing Varda from his movies and how she treats people, I don't think she just went to see him as a filmmaker, but as a friend. If Godard had asked him to turn off everything or delete that part, I'm sure she would have done it, because Varda always cared about people, in the end they were the center of his cinema. I find no excuse to do something like that to someone who, as far as we know, were friends.

What happened between Godard and Truffaut?
Godard commited a rational suicide, no one knew godard, how can you blame him? maybe Agnes knew something, and i think really, that is the reason why she was sad, she think, maybe after all those years, they could have a talk, but godard was dead, and how could you talk to a grave?
من اروع الوثائقيات اللتي شاهدتها، لو كان غودار موجود ويعلم بقدوم فاردا ، سوف اقول هذا غرور وحماقة منه.
What if Godard is saying he's at the restaraunt, meet him there?
High chance the restaurant closed
The meeting "a la ville de douarnenez" ! YES ! that's it ! Like "the meeting in Samarra" ! SPOT ON !
Are we sure he was trying to hurt her? So the three of them used to eat (and probably enjoy a friendship) there at this "Ville de Douarnenez" restaurant.
Godard writes “to the Ville De Douarnenez” when Jacques dies. Was that to hurt? For me it's like trying to evoke those past memories of their friendship.
And then he writes now again on the glass to remind her of the importance of their friendship to him, despite perhaps not being able or not predisposed for whatever reason to see her.
Or maybe he wasn't willing to see her after too long through the excuse of a camera and a film and felt a bit offended by that.
Why are we so sure he was trying to hurt her?
Even if that's all true it's still weird and hurtful.
I don't see anything offensive about the message. Also, someone showed up with a camera crew and he doesn't have a right to not want to be filmed? This was blown way out of proportion.

Did he write it backwards from the inside so she could read it? That takes skill.
Maybe he was on the Canne.
Godard has his moments, but you can definitely sense his misanthropic tendencies through all his movies. He wants his characters to die or live sad, meaningless lives. And some of his stuff hasn't even aged well or isn't that deep anymore. Varda made documentaries on the marginalized and important leaders (ie Black Panthers), films that brought meaning in sadness and had a unique female gaze in a male dominated movement. I saw her at an event shortly before she passed away, she was so humble. Her talent will live on ❤️

Como disse um sábio certa vez:se Deus levou Godard para o céu,ele fez um grande favor ao diabo
So, for some context; Godard had already told the team who helped Varda for the film that he didn't want to appear on the movie (and the reason, even, was somewhat of justified: he thought that by appearing right through the end of it, it would make it a little less Varda, and he would be the focus, which he did consider unfair). The crew, then, decided to not tell Varda about it, wishing to capture her "authentic" expression about it. Godard did never wish to be cruel or attack Varda by any means, and if there's fault to somenone, it relies on the crew who decided to not tell a 89 years old woman and make her suffer in front of the camera just because they wished for "authenticity"
RIP GODARD

What’s funny is that Varda admitted later that she liked that this happened because she thought this made this film better. Godard is not the one to give you the convenient thing that you want, no matter how rude it may be.
Watching a Godard film is like pulling teeth. So self absorbed

Human all too human.

If there really is an afterlife where you meet your friends from the past, Agnès Varda will have something to say today.
I have literally never forgiven Godard for this...
Qué pena esto... qué le costaba a Godard un poco de amabilidad?caray
To be fair, and Agnès said so a couple years later, it made for a better movie that Jean-Luc acted like such an asshole here. Dramatically his actions spawned a very emotional scene, even if it hurts as heck seeing the sweet treasure Agnès Varda being hurt to tears. 😢 So since Varda's documentary film became stronger, one could argue that she had the last laugh. She went on to reveive an Oscar nomination for best documentary for this. Godard never received an Oscar nomination, although both him and Agnès were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Oscars.
i'm sure it devastated him to not get that oscar nom...
Agnes varda was full of beans; she played so heavily her old lady charm - it is hard to take that last film seriously, especially with JR involved.
Sweetheart and also a legend, she still let him the bakery she brought him
One can be a genius AND a childish idiot, at the same time.
A genius he was decidedly not. He had some very sporadic moments of genius, like many other people do.

The woman is a documentary filmmaker called Agnes Varda and the guy is a street artist named JR (He's never revealed his real identity in public).

What's the name of this doc?
Contexts are important. JLG and Varda had been friends for over 60 years at this point. Everyone who knows JLG knows that he has, for his entire life, communicated aphoristically and, here, to Varda, cryptically, yet with a great deal of particularity to and for her. Notice that Varda has zero difficulty interpreting what Godard had conveyed. The reference to the restaurant “could” be a complex of emotions, positions, memories, the constellation of their friendship precisely etched on that glass. However, at the same time, Varda and her friend are clearly making a doc [from which this clip was pulled] and therefore trying to compel JLG take part in it. He doesn’t owe that to her or anyone, just as no viewer owes it to be a part of someone else’s enterprise if they choose to decline. Varda knows this and she is playing for the camera. She didn’t have to include this footage. One has to ask, Why, then, did she and co-director choose to use it? Her personal friendship with Godard could have been conducted on the phone or, perhaps, privately in person, off camera. Varda went out not only to buy a brioche but a permanent marker. In this context, for 5 Euros Varda had a scene.
Not quite: Godard agreed to meet up with her then stood her up. I think it's worth remembering that in the 1970s he offended Francois Truffaut with a similarly cryptic message... then after Truffaut died, said he regretted their rift and paid tribute to his old friend... then, with Varda, he made the same mistake all over again. Keeping journalists at arm's length with aphorisms and cryptic utterances (to maintain your privacy, or perpetuate a mystique around yourself, or whatever) is one thing, but doing it with your oldest friends is another.
@@drparnassus2867 All that is clear is that Godard expected her arrival, hence the prepared message - yet, meet with her, not necessarily her camera. That’s the point here. Truffaut doesn’t belong to this discussion. Conflation aside, Godard, who’s not only active but vigorous at 91 in Rolle, remains averse to human commodification - recall that across all periods of his work, prostitution is a primary motif - and this could not have been lost on Varda. Point still stands: she was trying to capitalize on their friendship. Even in his absence, she did. The scene is disingenuous and its existence is curious.
If he didn't want to be on camera, he could have done an adult thing and tell her that over a telephone, e-mail or through any form of correspondence. But no pretentious loser made her travel from France to Switzerland only to leave her with a six word note on a glass window ...
Minor effort may reveal a more nuanced grasp of the scene and its parts. My initial post addresses your assumptions. Primary is the guided, implicit assumption that Varda is not a manipulator in the scene she constructed. How odd. Consider how films are built. Fallacies such as ad hominem attacks, like the video’s title and your repetition of it here, are designed to precondition perception. Hence, the animus in all these responses correspondingly follows in step with AV’s message of being a victim of JLG’s mistreatment instead of inviting greater scrutiny. Why is this problematic?
Actually, he had agreed to meet her on camera? The fact that he then deliberately didn't, shows the context of him being a arrogant loser.
A dog will always be a dog. No matter what tricks you teach him.
What show is this from?
I need context
Goddamn, it pisses me off to see Agnes upset here. Whatever the context, I hope Godard privately apologised to her before her passing. He is a legend for sure (as AV is), but comes across as a rude, arrogant prat here.
Maybe Jean-Luc Godard did not want to be filmed by JR, one of the most conformist artist. Being discreet does not mean necessarily being pretentious.
What movie/documentary is this from?
