1964, Jean Luc Godard
A film interrogating different spaces, cooler than much of Godard's work
The space of the affair; elliptical, quite fast takes, dissolves out
fracturing of space
The space of the home, which lacks depth, two dimensional
long shots, a few elegant pans
both spaces have front lighting, rejecting or having little depth
long interviews as well, blurs fiction and documentation
themes of living against acting, artifice and the cinema to life
interrogatory techniques also mash with invocation of camps
though less obviously cutting, stupidity of characters is angled across
though with a certain sympathy
interesting rather than electric
