Kiss me stupid: For BC or AD?

I just saw this film today, and I loved it. I saw it with the "Navajo" broken English subtitles. I was able to follow most of it. I've seen a lot of Godard and am used to his rhythms. Didn't understand much of the dialogue, though.

Thanks for giving a proper translation.

The subtitles in the US release of the film are not as complete as you have here. I believe Godard wanted the film released with broken English subtitles. But no matter. The final 10 minutes is quite good either way. And if someone knows the language then subtitles have to meaning anyway.

I'm still not over, dear Sir, through my long voyage to the home of

cinematography, but I missed indeed quite a lot of ports of call - no girls in

every port, but no honors neither I could deserve.

Do please ask the distinguished audience some indulgence for the piteous

English of your colleague and send the reward to the Bleecker Street Cinema

if remaining.

Faithfully yours,

Jean-Luc Godard

To force Oscar people to reward Abbas Klarostami instead of Kieslowski,

To persuade M. Kubrick to screen Santiago Alvarez shorts on Vietnam.

To beg Ms. Keaton to read Bugsy Siegel's biography.

To shoot Contempt with Sinatra and Novak,

etc., etc.,

JLG was never able through his whole movie maker/goer career to:

Prevent M. Spielberg from rebuilding Auschwitz,

Convince Mrs. Ted Turner not to colorize past and dear funny faces,

To sentence M. Bill Gates for naming his bug's office Rosebud,

To compel New York Film Critics Circle not to forget Shirley Clarke,

To oblige Sony ex-Columbia Pictures to imitate Dan Talbot / New Yorker

Films when delivering accounts,

[oudacity]

And it is then my duty - no copyright, only copyduties - not to accept any

longer the honor of your reward. Do please accept the incomplete following

reasons for such genuine and shy statement.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your electronic mail dated January 20 - 11:24 am. Too little

good health. Too big snow to the airport, and too few banknotes saved for

the ticket. Hollywood always used to say that your servant is not fit for

telling stories. I therefore said in the last chapter of my stories of

cinema [Histoires du cinema(s)] that nothing is lost, except honor.
