1962 movie from Jean-Luc Godard, and likely the favourite of his movies that we have seen.
Opening shot; obscures faces, keeps depth through mirror use. And dark contrasts
relation of showing a face to Jeanne D'Arc, idea of the close up
narrative just about follows
use of long takes with moving camera. Pans, reframings, stay aware of camera
use of mirrors
use of sound; cutting out, showing artifice. Subtitled section indicating its a 'fake'- a movie
idea of life versus thought, the relation
comes to self-reflexivity, naturally and well
we are asked if we should mind that this is (only) a film. Is this part a film, or reality
great ending, shot in the master-take to make it U.S. exploitation filmic
impressive reflexivity
