Jack - I never did go to Godard for giggles. Besides, there's alot of similar fun, at Hollywood's expense, in Eloge de l'Amour. Fair enough, L'Histoire[s] du Cinema sure ain't Woody Allen but, given that he's probing the raw wounds of the 20th Century, I think he can be forgiven for a certain seriousness! This scene, and the Raymond Devos interlude, crack me up.
godard was so playful at this point. he could be both serious and playful in the same movie. I wonder why he got soooo serious after that. I guess he lost his sense of humor -- a fate worse than death!
i love how playful the french new wave was, to have godard simply bring up the question, what is cinema. note how she translates it to "what is movies"... this american makes american "pictures"... and he tells us that a film should be an exorbitant array of emotions and...
and well... damnit why do all my relationships... invariably... end up like this film... bloody pierrot let fou's the story of my life.
@jack7474 I disagree, it shows a certain artistic commitment

Is this from the Fox Lorber dvd? I'm pretty sure the hue was originally green.

He made more-lighthearted movies in the '80s and '90s.
