The Forest (2009)

"만사형통"이 개봉된 직후 고다르와 고랭은 하노이를 방문한 제인 폰다가 베트남 공산주의자들에게 둘러싸인 보도사진을 잡지에서 발견하고 제인에게 편지를 쓴다. 몇 장의 사진과 제인에게 보내는 편지를 읽는 두 감독의 보이스오버만으로 이루어진 이 영화에서, 고다르와 고랭은 진실과 이미지의 왜곡된 상관관계를 폭로하며 지식인과 혁명의 관계에 대한 질문을 제시한다.

In 1998, Jean-Luc Godard made a short video entitled Adieu au TNS (Farewell to the TNS). Never released (or intended to be), the video is nearly impossible to see and has not been included in any Godard retrospectives to date.

“성과 혁명”이라는 제목이 붙었던 영화로, 고다르가 레닌을, 고랭이 로자 룩셈부르크를 연기하며 1960년대의 정치적인 사건들에 대한 논평과 토론을 벌인다. ‘시카고 8인 재판’과 유사한 재판이 묘사되며 피고인들의 일상적인 삶이 보여지는 한편, 미국의 급진적인 흑인결사 ‘블랙팬더 당’과 미 연방정부와의 긴장된 관계를 또 하나의 이슈로 다룬다.

One night, Matiss Zelcs, an employee of the Latvian national archive in Riga, notices a woman on a bridge. After passing by her without preventing her suicidal fall into the depths, a sensation of failure and guilt changes his life. He cannot forget her. Driven by a feeling of remorse and the fever of illusion, he roams through the city night and day looking for traces of her existence. This journey through the tumult of his conscience leads him deeper into his own loneliness and the depths of his soul, as he gets more and more entangled in the destinies of the woman and of the people who were attached to her. He finds himself confronted with the pain of yearning and guilt, the cruelty of love and desire, and the search for forgiveness, release and salvation.

Lighter and livelier than the films Jean-Luc Godard had made in France, his U.S. collaboration with Direct Cinema documentarian D. A. Pennebaker was meant to be One A.M., as in “one American movie”; but Godard quit the project and the U.S., where to his dismay he discovered that revolution wasn’t imminent, and Pennebaker edited Godard’s material, to which he and Richard Leacock even added a bit more, releasing the result as One P.M., as in “one parallel movie.” It’s a stunning mixture of cinéma-vérité, political theater, and interviews of key sixties figures.

This short film is Godard’s message to the people of Lausanne, specifically journalist and critic Freddy Buache, addressing his reasons why he will not make a film about their town’s 500th anniversary. Rather than cynical or defensive, Godard's bemused narration of the footage of Lausanne is imaginative and even playful, a rumination on cinema's possibilities.

Piroska is an overweight, alienated nurse who can’t resist cream-filled pastries. She works in the terminal ward of a hospital; her life is surrounded by death. One day she sets off to find her long-lost childhood friend. While tracing her recollections, she embarks on a paradox-filled voyage within her own memory and the memory of those she encounters.
