  Histoire(s) du cinéma 1998

  Watched 07 Jan 2023 1

  Latter period Godard either needs to be entirely dubbed or have some kind of explanation of his attitude towards subtitles played in advance.

  Debatable whether they even should be watched by non French speakers in their current state imo (still have a chip on my shoulder about Goodbye To Language’s 3D camera work being ruined by the subtitles of his musings over it)

  Watched 01 Dec 2022

  I need to give up on anthology films, it’s like having a running clock throughout the film to remind you of how long it is.

  Audibly groaned when the third story was wrapping up and I remembered there was a fourth story.
