NerdWriter have you ever considered doing the occasional podcast? I feel like I could spend hours listening to you talk about anything.

[@rhysdominick2826]

you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of weeks :)

[@bocasey5516]

@Rhys Dominick Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@danimal111ify]

Great interpretation of Breathless. That's a hard film to figure out. However, I would be careful about overestimating Hollywood's association with French New Wave. Yes, Truffaut and Godard were self-consciously influenced by Hollywood, but Robert Bresson and Agnes Varda, among others, were more inspired by Italian neorealism and the more traditional French aesthetic of poetic realism, in the spirit of Renoir, Carne and Rene Clair.

[@Linny95]

But directors like Spielberg and Aronofsky have shown homages in their material. I would agree with the argument Hollywood is associated with the French New Wave, whether it’s post-WW2 or in a modern context

[@markray2769]

That's true, and I believe this is because there were two types of French New Wave directors during the 60s-the Cahiers du cinéma directors and Left Bank directors.

[@smkh2890]

Only Jaques Rivette is missing from your list. His 'Celine et Julie Vont en Bateau' is riveting! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine_and_Julie_Go_Boating

[@thecivilianseries3267]

The so called New Hollywood directors -- Scorcese, Friedkin, Coppola, Spielberg, etc - have spoken often of how their minds were blown, and influenced, by the rule-breaking French New Wave filmmakers.

[@jackyoung2110]

Agreed, only I would argue that Robert Bresson preceded the French Nee Wave by a few years. Agnes Varda’s La Pointe Courte is frequently sighted as the first film of the French New Wave, and Bresson made his first notable film - Diary of a Country Priest - in 1951. I believe Godard even sighted him as a source of inspiration.

[@RozzamaTRON]

That murder scene (the matter-of-factness, lack of detail, apparent lack of motive) reminds me a lot of reading the murder scene in Albert Camus' L'Étranger (The Stranger, whatever you wanna call it). I have no idea if that's relevant, probably not, but I thought it was interesting given the time and geography of it all.

[@stefdevilliers3840]

[@sayondeepchoudhury7558]

Yeah even I noticed the similarity while watching the film

[@busdrinker3734]

RozzamaTRON I thought the same thing! That’s so cool! How little attention the actual event was given and how casually he proceeded from there.

[@ketchyshubby]

Big fan of all your work. Maybe I'm having trouble understanding your points, but had a hard time getting through this one. Maybe it's because I have read a lot on Godard and am also French so i understand his mentality, but I think there's a practical reason for everything you described rather than a psychological. The use of jump cuts, of close ups, of the iris, all of this had a practical or "arrogant" reason for existing. For example, Godard has stated that they wanted to make an American film but doing everything opposite of what Americans would do, using close ups when they should have used wide shots, not clearly explaining the action etc the iris of course is an homage to Griffith and cinema in the early days. Anyways, please keep these videos coming. They are always a wealth of information.

[@smkh2890]

"I think there's a practical reason for everything you described rather than a psychological" thanks for that, the stuff about Lacan has nothing to do with Godard's technique.

Where's The 400 blows understanding art video?

[@songsbymichaelroberts9078]

I believe you mean to ask, "What is the musical underscore to The 400 Blows doing under scenes from Breathless.?" It's a good question. I noticed that, too. Truffaut was ESSENTIAL in the making of Breathless.

[@eunicewagwag1441]

Thank you Nerdwriter! I really think the French were brilliant in handling a dilemma confronting their Cultural or Cinematic Identity in a period wherein Hollywood movies have fostered massive influence over the country. I can't help but wish that a movement similar to this would happen in our country too - in the Philippines. And maybe a resurgence of better quality films would happen to us here. But it's difficult to say that something like this would be possible given with the difference in context and societal conditions faced. :(

[@kevinpfeiffer8034]

Have you seen the series The History Of film? It's a fantastic miniseries just like this over many many many episodes. Highly recommended! It's on Netflix!

[@therecklessradio]

Great video! I love the fact that you included the clip of Tarantino explaining how he 'grew out of' Godard at the beginning. It just shows while Tarantino is obviously influenced by Godard, the two are fundamentally different filmmakers. After all, at least I think, Tarantino was never really interested in the radical politics in Godard's films, both in their contents and forms. And of course, Tarantino's Godard influence, it seems, comes strictly from the director's output in the 60's. I, too, LOVE Godard's 'Parisian' films (especially Vivre sa vie, Pierrot le fou, Alphaville, Two or Three Things I Know About Her, and Week End), but find his work in the 80's and 90's more 'important.' Films like Passion, Hail Mary, and First Name Carmen have almost classicist beauty inside them. They aren't as playful and lively as, say, Breathless, but much more profound in their radical formal experiments. Histoire(s) du cinema, which I consider Godard's magnum opus, simply shows he will never 'go out of fashion' in the history of cinema. It's a pity that his post-'68 work never gets the attention that it deserves, even from those who claim to be influenced by him.

[@jandron94]

Difficult for americans to be interested if there is not any "american" or any English-speaking content... Seberg was american... Maruchka Detmers, Myriem Roussel were not... Also the director need to speak a minimum of English for interviews... that's the rules. US culture is the one and only culture : "THE" culture (UK's culture being "the" other tolerated culture).

Breaking news: the director of DJANGO UNCHAINED claims he's "outgrown" Jean-Luc Godard

[@ny4978]

this is hilarious

[@EmersetFarquharson]

Outgrowing someone does not constitute claiming your work is greater than theirs. Creators always source inspiration in their work from external influences, and these influences always evolve. That doesn't mean Tarantino dismisses or disparages Godard in the least. You can very much respect an artist and still seek inspiration from other sources.

[@jackmeyer8656]

Emerset Farquharson to outgrow it means to grow bigger than it

[@cogginsnuff]

@@jackmeyer8656 (to) Outgrow: stop doing or having an interest in (something) as one matures. In this context Tarantino is talking about Godard as an influence to his work not a comparison. He specifically says how influential Godard was to him as a film maker.

[@jackmeyer8656]

Cogginsnuff He is saying that he was more influential in the beginning of his career, but he has “outgrown” him. By the way, this is the first definition that comes up for “outgrow” in the Oxford dictionary and on google: “outgrow: grow too big for something.”

Dude, this is so awesome!!! I've watched Breathless before and I had a good idea about its importance to the history of film, but your video merged me deeper in its importance to the industry after WWII and how French cinema got references from old Hollywood, reinvent the movies and then gave them back to the world. I could have only learnt that from someone who studied the Nouvelle Vague deeper or with someone who lived those times, so thanks a lot! :D

It'd be cool to see you analyze how film scores equally bring out viewer's emotions as much as the visuals do. Citing examples: Williams, Zimmer, etc. Or you could do cinematography's impact like Lubeski in Tree of Life or any of his oscar winning movies.

[@richardwadholm4019]

This analysis makes me think of Thomas Pynchon's novel "V." Pynchon plays at length with the desires of his characters to watch themselves as they live out the big moments of their lives - to the point where the female protagonist impales herself on a pole, in a parody of a handheld mirror. "V." was published just a few years after "Breathless" appeared. Listening to your analysis makes me wonder if there was something in the air in postwar culture that made people "see themselves seeing themselves."

Really nice job with this, great exegesis. Thinking about more in the How WW2 Changed Cinema series? My only criticism would be that that's a big category to attach to Breathless alone, when you didn't do a lot with the direct consequences of the war here, apart from the important point about opening up French cinema to the American films the Cahier writers loved. But a good look at a great film.

To me Lacan's mirror-stage is merely an idea of his. What did humanity do before mirrors were invented? Seeing oneself in a pond? His idea can't be backed by science, it's a mere theory, made up by him.

[@stuartschrader]

Great video. Would be interested in seeing a follow-up to this coming-of-age of the self-conscious, post-modernist period brought about in cinema around the time of the French New Wave. I want to know the answers to questions like: where are we now? Is this self-conscious style of filmmaking still effective, or has it been reabsorbed by what you referred to as the "dominant ideology," in which case a new, revelatory aesthetic might be needed/craved by audiences? Either way, great video! Consistently love your choice of topic and perspective.

[@jonnysimons8530]

I always subscribed to the interpretation that it was a social commentary on youth culture. It being about two self obsessed youth who are too in love with themselves to truly love one another. But, I don't really like Breathless. My favorite Goddard films are Alphaville and Masculine Feminine. They're so much more abstract and I love the noir film aesthetic. I also like the camera techniques in masculine Feminine. The french new wave was really cool because of that kind of experimentation.

[@zachmorley9566]

I couldn't finish this film. While the film was no doubt innovative and clever, the post modern, self-referential overtones come across as pretentious and self-absorbed in today's context. The film also is so obsessed with itself that it becomes largely unrelatable to its audience. Cinema, like all media, is, among many things, a form of communication. This means as a filmmaker you must not only have something interesting to say, but you must know how to communicate it to your audience. This is my primary problem with art house. Take Nicolas Winding Refn. While I enjoyed Drive, his past 2 films are so absorbed in their own aesthetic that, except for the cinematography, I couldn't care less about them. Films like the Shawshank Redemption are often derided by esoteric film aficionados because they're feel-good and mainstream..... but so what..... they're mainstream for a reason, and at least they draw me in and leave me just a little different when I leave the theater. Mainstream or not, this is good cinema--- when the filmmaker not only respects himself by being authentic and fresh, but respects the audience by speaking their language, and, as a result, letting them in on the journey that is the motion picture.

[@tunafishjoe]

[@graveyardshiftfilms2076]

+DeepBrown44 Im pretty sure it all was nothing but a happy accident. He couldn't probably film the scenes the way he wanted for time, budgetary concern or the takes ma also contain many frames of 'false look' & bad performance, so he hid them in the ;jump cuts'. and so a new style began.

These pieces are designed for reflection and contemplation of the complex ideas within. I beseech you, dear artist, to observe the impact you make as a filmmaker and educator when you undercut the entire piece with an immediate, manic, completely differently toned commercial at the end. You leave absolutely not even a second for us to absorb the breadth and depth of the material you have just presented. The pieces would be so much more effective and powerful if you found another spot to communicate your need for money. Perhaps place the commercial at the beginning, with a couple of seconds of breathing space before the poetic discourse begins?

While it really has nothing to do with Godard there is a book written by Mark Harris called Five Came Back. It details how five different Hollywood directors were influenced by World War II and how they then influenced Hollywood when they returned. It's an interesting read.

It stops almost ON the last word which is a little jolting and is like "well ok that's the end I guess". might wanna fix that.

[@ernestoA2]

+Zack Miller I think the prompt end to his videos are intentional, and I really like that, but I agree with you in that sense that the end could be like a bit "longer" (playing the music a bit longer, show the sources of information etc.).
