Cinema is quite simply a unique book from one of the most
influential film-makers in the history of cinema. Here, Jean-Luc
Godard looks back on a century of film as well as his own work and
career in the industry. Born with the twentieth century, cinema
became not just the century's dominant art form but its best
historian. Godard argues that - after the century of Chaplin and
Pol Pot, Monroe and Hitler, Stalin and Mae West, Mao and the Marx
Brothers - film and history are inextricably intertwined. Against
this backdrop, Godard presents his thoughts on film theory,
cinematic technique, film histories, as well as the recent video
revolution. As the conversation develops, Godard expounds on his
central concerns - how film can 'resurrect the past', the role of
rhythm in film, and how cinema can be an 'art that thinks'. Cinema:
the archaeology of film and the memory of a century is a dialogue
between Godard and the celebrated cinphile Youssef Ishaghpour. Here
Godard comes closest to defining a lifetime's obsession with cinema
and cinema's lifelong obsession with history.
