Scénarios + Exposé du Film annonce du film “Scénario”
Two years after his death, the world has been gifted two more “last films” by the great Jean-Luc Godard: a quintessential, complexly layered Godard work, concluding with an overwhelmingly poignant appearance by the filmmaker himself the day before his death, and a documentary shot the previous year that affords a remarkable glimpse into the maestro’s agile mind at work.
Q&A with Fabrice Aragno on Oct. 2 & 3
The release of Jean-Luc Godard’s summative, elegiac 2018 feature, The Image Book (NYFF56), a film about the end of things, would seem to be the final testament from one of the most important artists the medium has ever known. But now, two years after his death, the world has been gifted two more “last films” from Godard. An extraordinary epilogue to an uncompromised career, Scénarios assembles and layers paintings, collages, film clips, stills, and narration, including text from Sartre, read on screen—in an overwhelmingly poignant appearance—by Godard the day before his assisted death. Scénarios (17m) will be followed by Exposé du film annonce du film “Scenario” (36m), a documentary shot in 2021 by longtime collaborator Fabrice Aragno that affords a remarkable glimpse into the maestro’s agile mind at work: here Godard outlines a previous version of the project, a feature film never to be made.
