JLG BY JLG: DECEMBER SELF-PORTRAIT International Cinema

In one of his most accessible films, Jean-Luc Godard makes philosophical and reflective observations
on the worlds of cinema, language and art. At his lakeside home in Switzerland, Godard
is a delightful mixture of King Lear and his detective character from Alphaville. Unafraid of lapsing
into comedy and a sort of Marx Brothers-inspired lunacy, Godard examines the subject of
film editing, suffers a visit from the “Cinema Inspectors” who hold him accountable for his career,
and quotes passages from poets and philosophers. Selected as one of the 10 best films of 1994
by the Village Voice, this is a visual feast from one of the world’s most innovative directors. Shown
with Didier Flamand’s Da Viss, (France, 1994, 22 min.) in which Jean Reno ( The Professiona?
becomes frustrated by a screw that has no slot and files a complaint with the government. Shot
by Agnes Godard. In a made-up language with no subtitles.
