"I think the next Martin Scorsese picture, which is in black & white, will be very beautiful." - Godard was referring to "Raging Bull".

Where can I find part 2 or full version, please?

[nothingtruc]

Uh...

It exists a version with french subtitles ?

With the "experimental service of Youtube", it's...

It's... woh.

Ahaha.

[1976stoney]

Godards on sparkling form here, and being tolerant of Cavett, who's living up to his name.

@vasadak The previous poster said it already, but more specifically I think JLG may be referring to the DePalmian style of actually tracking a moving (usually walking) character through elaborate and complicated settings with careful choreography etc, i.e. being fancy for the sake of being fancy.

[lealbrn]

@vasadak Godard never used tracking to be fancy, unlike those "modern movie makers" he refers.

[vasadak]

"...he's not tracking like all those so-called modern movie makers, making fancy with a camera."

- forgive me if this might seem a bit wrong but didn't godard use tracking in some of his 60s films? i distinctly remember that contempt (mepris) was very smooth because the camera tracked a lot. self-contradictory

and who can forgot the tracking shot of the traffic queue in his 'weekend' film

[PathosDistanz]

No, kiasmus, it's better. Why expect the masses to flock to this? The low number of views can be viewed another way, as a sign of something necessarily rarefied, and rightfully so.

[RonAlmeida]

@kiasmus there are too many who have no use for pearls...Oink...Oink!

[doctornoooo]

Godard the mad scientist of movies its alive its alive  what a guy
