Film Details

Jean-Luc Godard, the French New Wave innovator who became an ever-rebellious titan of world cinema, died last September at age 91. This new documentary, which includes interviews with many of Godard’s friends, collaborators, and critics, looks back at the late master. The movie divides Godard’s first 40 years of filmmaking into six chapters, each inspired by a phase of his career—from his 1960 breakthrough Breathless to his late magnum opus Histoire(s) du cinema, an eight-part video essay. Godard Cinema will be preceded at showtime by the late director’s final work, the 20-min. Trailer for a Film That Will Never Exist: ‘Phony Wars’ (Film annonce du film qui n’existéra jamais: ‘Drôles de guerres’, France/Switzerland, 2023). Both Cleveland premieres. Subtitles. DCP. Total 120 min.
