Every time I watch Jean Luc Godard’s films, or at least a shot from them, I’m always reminded of what’s missing in most of American cinema today. Rest peacefully, Mr. Godard. Thank you for your groundbreaking achievements in filmmaking.
This guys longevity is insane. From short experimental films to french new wave even the late 2010's he's still making movies. Died very recently. What an absolute legend RIP!
Yes that beautiful painterly style. You wanted to be these people in these montage. That face, that dress, that beach, those legs, those moments. Made you feel like the 💫. Oui, je t’aime.
I always remember that wonderful scene in 'Deux ou Trois Choses que Je Sais d'Elle', in the cafe, the camera directly above a cup of black coffee, closer and closer until the coffee becomes the universe, the blackness a vast sea of infinity. Godard, the greatest artist in any art form of the last 70 years. So many thanks for his work.
I found this video after I heard the sad news. It was a nice refresher for me, but a wonderful tribute made by you to Godard. I also loved the end of Contempt where Picolo climbed the steps. Such wonderful perspective. And then he finds Bardot on the roof. Well, its more like the art of Bardot, as she is like a painting lying on the textured cement floor with a flaking storm-worn wall behind her, and the steep cliff faces behind it all. I would like to have been Michel Picolo that day. It was breathtaking. RIP, Master.
As a teenager in the 1970's I loved foreign cinema, especially French new wave and my first film star crush was Jean-Paul Belmondo. In those days BBC2 showed at least a couple of foreign language films every week so I was able to indulge my passion. Watching these clips took me back . . .
It Is "funny" because Jean-Paul Belmondo was one of the legendary actors of the French new wave but after he became a huge european action and cop movie star and a stuntman appreciated by persons from Sly Stallone, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee to Jackie Chan or even Sarah Ferguson! He was a star from Spain to Russia and even Japan! His face even inspirated two japanese "mangakas" in the creation of two famous characters of the 70's! A extraordinary performer as Lino Ventura or Alain Delon..
This is soo cute,waouw music, so respectful, what a tribute, i'm sure this video would have been soooo much appreciated by JLG himself, and i'm sure by all of his fans too......
Great compilation - I really like the calm and 'empty' compositons in Le Mepris / Contempt - giving a feeling of the dreamy spacious summer heat. RIP Godard
For me, one is missing. In Pierrot le fou, Belmondo finds Anna Karina (in a marina, I believe). Belmondo says "I would like time to stop" (Je voudrais que le temps s'arrête). Anna then turns her head slightly and for a very short moment we have the feeling that time stops. It's a magnificent purely cinematic effect. Congratulations on your work. 👍👏
@@Badastro59 It's been a long time since I've seen the movie again and I confess that I don't remember this scene. You made me want to see it again. What I am going to do.
My favorite director, for a long time now. One of the things than is again made crystal clear in any excellent video like this is just how playful Godard was. Almost every one of these shots, no matter how doused in loss or confusion they might be, just ooze a fun, mischievous atmosphere.
Saying adieu to one of the greatest filmmakers is hard. i love this man so much. Thank you for changing conventional filmmaking and all the great films you've given us. Cinema wouldn't be what it is without you. R.I.P. Godard, you genius
One of my favorites is the last scene from Le Mepris. We see the setup for the film within the film, the camera tracks left, gradually leaving out the crew, showing the actor saluting the sea, then that actor drops out and we’re left looking at the sea. Breathtaking to watch.
Recently Jean Luc Godard lights a cigar after saying death to fascism at the 25th International Film Festival of Kerala, where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award
This videomontage makes the very good point that so much of Godard, and of French New Wave cinema in general, was about just setting up visuals like these --- very deliberately (like including things like an extended visual of the back of someone's head) yet somehow managing to not be pretentious or self-indulgent about it.
Although Godard is a very important film director, For the most part, I would not attach the quality of visual beauty as a primary quality of his films. There are many great directors whose work is breathtakingly beautiful, but Godard’s importance is not in the beauty of his images, it is in how he uses his images to inform the viewer of the reality he creates. That is his genius.
I'm 62 and somehow these films have passed me by and that's despite the fact that when I do watch films I find I enjoy European films. Time to catch up I reckon.
What’s interesting to me is how flat and wide these particular compositions are. I don’t mean exactly like billboards… But they are kind of like theatrical tableau with a limited depth, and the motion seems to be from side to side rather than from deep space towards the camera. I have to say all of your choices are superb. all of this makes me want to see a Goddard movie soon as possible. I don’t have to say that there is a certain magic to cinema that distinguishes it from literature, or even from the theater. The specific presentational language, and Manipulation of time and attention. It’s all good stuff.
Nothing from two of his most beautifully shot, and in my view, best films! :) _Nouvelle Vague_ and _In Praise of Love_. I hardly remember _Detective_ -- need to catch that again.
@@Adyfilk I think what's amazing about that shot is that its only a few seconds long and yet perfectly condenses the dinamics between the characters, and seems so... Real. I think that's what Godard wanted to accomplish. My favorite movie btw
I guess "Breathless" is my favorite of all his films. I watch it about once a year. When she tells him she has called the police he only seems annoyed ? Strange.
The French invented cinema, and they have been, consistently making the best films out of any country in the world since. While the Italians made great films between the 1950s thru the 1970s (but no longer since), and the Americans are very inconsistent, making great films, but terrible ones as well, the French kept producing amazing films, and today they still do, in every genre as well, including pop, like sci-fi, and great comedies as well, for they are intelligent and funny. Then... call me sexist, I don't care, but the French female actors are the greatest, and many are the most beautiful women in cinema, like the divine Marion Cotillard, and so many others.
Let's not forget Raoul Coutard who was his DP on most of his films
One of the greatest directors. RIP Jean-Luc Godard!!!!

I love how he shoots car scenes from the back. Makes you feel like ur a passenger in the backseat with them.
RIP Jean-Luc... a cinematic legend!
A director unlike any other.

Agree!
Also Scorsese paid homage with a similar scene in Taxi Driver
A similar concept was applied in the Beethoven biography film starring Garry Oldman when Ode To Joy was being performed at the orchestra
Magnifique 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 Merci, quel beau bouquet 💐
Yes, Godard has a marvelous eye. A genius, really, at deciding who and what we see onscreen and how we see them.
Agreed!👍
Ah..Jean Luc Godard. One of my favourite French film directors and a true genius of cinema 🎥...God bless you always.
These wonderful films are about people and cinema... Thank you!
🙏
Wonderful little compilation 🙏🏼
RIP Jean Luc 💜
What an eye-opener you were - and what beautiful treasures you gave us.
Rest in peace Maestro
Beautiful & Touching. Thank you
🙏 👍
Beautifully selected. Much respect. RIP Jean-Luc

If we are talking about sheer beautiful shots, then we have to consider Passion.
That brought back so many memories. RIP Jean-Luc Godard.

A nice mix of a prolific artist. His influence is hard to calculate.
🙏👍
Nice compilation; nice memories. à bientôt, Goddard....
Thanks!🙏👍
His name is Godard!
I’m kicking myself for only finding out Jean-Luc after his death. His movies are something else
Goosebumps !
Au Revoir Godard. One of the greatest artist in the XXth century.
This is soo cute,waouw music, so respectful, what a tribute, i'm sure this video would have been soooo much appreciated by JLG himself, and i'm sure by all of his fans too......
Thanks so much!🙏

Thanks!🙏'Contempt' is definitely Godard 's one of the most cinematic film.👍
Beautiful compilation. Thank you for making.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Your video brought tears to my eyes. Godard was part of my young years, the years of non-conformism. So much beauty. Great work, tks
🙏Thanks so much!🙏👍
Ohh God these shots are great and also compiled fantastically.
Thanks!🙏👍

@@Adyfilk show us soon Sir? Cheers to that from Toronto!
I like the kiss in the Apartment better, it's sublime, my all time favorite Kiss
@@Badastro59 It's been a long time since I've seen the movie again and I confess that I don't remember this scene. You made me want to see it again. What I am going to do.
A tribute to great figures of the French New wave and actors like Jean Paul Belmondo, Samy Frey and Anna karina
I'm sure Godard would love the music you chose so avant garde !
🙏👍
I enjoyed that.
Thank you.
Thanks!🙏👍
What a legacy! Thanks
Formidable!
Merci, et merci, Jean Luc!
Cool... thanks for sharing.

Wonderful compilation. Je vous salue, Marie (1985) contains some beautiful shots as well.
Thanks!🙏 If I will create a second part of this video, I will try to use the shots from it.👍
My second night watching this and oh the music it’s all set to , You rock from your new subscriber
Thanks!🙏👍
I have never seen any of those movies - I am intrigued.
Rest in Peace. Thank you for your movies
you forget that beautiful riot in supermarket in tout va bien, so many great shots in that movie than just jane fonda's
Never even heard of him until I saw a report of his death on the news, this all looks incredible im going to enjoy exploring his work!
Like almost every American
My goal is to see all Godard' films alone and concentrate on each scene....wow
@@causeitsthere plot twist: he is french
He loved cars in his movies more than anyone. anyone!
Brilliant!
🙏👍
R.I.P. You will always be one of the GREATS.

Legend ❤️
The best one is in Breathless when Jean Seberg turns around suddenly in the street and her face lights up in recognition. (It's not here.)
Thanks for posting this helpful video - I've bookmarked it, for a feast of watching. =)
Thanks!🙏👍
Very beautiful compilation.
Thanks!🙏
R.I.P. to The Legend! 🎥
Thank you. I love the choice of your music in this compilation.
🙏👍
Stunning

Rest in power Godard
Fantastic photographic eye
Alphaville is my favourite.
Great soul.... Rest in peace...
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks🙏
Rest in Peace, Godard!

I love Jean Seberg
Rip Jean-Luc Godard
Human can be wonderful when willing
A life well lived. He missed nothing.
Farewell, Jean-Luc.
R.I.P the Lengend of Legends
Oh... there is that male gaze I've long been hearing about. Now when people are talking about it, I'll know what to think of.
Movie is an addiction getting your attraction, infection and attention. 💕
The Great Artist. .

The most beautiful Godard shot is in 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her.
Yes. A film with excellent cinematography. 👍 But I was not able to find/download it anywhere on the internet.
Also one of the best movie titles ever.
so i muted the song and put nocturne op9 no2 instead and it matched perfectly it was beautiful
Ok👍
@@Adyfilk just saying
Yes. Even I tried it.👍
Rip jean
Wonderful montage of his best work. What is the music for the first 2m30sec??
Thanks!🙏The soundtrack is : Inspiring Motivational Cinematic Piano - MusicalSmile.👍
@@Adyfilk Do you have the link? I have looked on UA-cam and cannot find it.
You can search for it at 'Envato'👍
0:46 you should've added the shot right after this one, too. Probably my favorite shot ever
It is a similar, but another good shot. 👍 If I will create another part of this video, I will surely include it.
@@Adyfilk I think what's amazing about that shot is that its only a few seconds long and yet perfectly condenses the dinamics between the characters, and seems so... Real. I think that's what Godard wanted to accomplish. My favorite movie btw

Bien Sur
Hi .Could you tell me what the wonderful piece of music which you use in your brilliant tribute to Jean-Luc is called ? Thank you
Thanks!🙏 The soundtracks used -

@@Adyfilk Thanks .Are there separate versions of the these tracks available on you tube ?
@@clinthill4098 Yes. There are separate versions available at Envato.👍
I hope you have that long last shot in Le Mepris of the Mediterranean with just the word "Silencio" on the soundtrack. God that was stunning.
Beautiful scene!👍
“Godard is a fucking bore” said Bergman & I concur.
Some of it is mind numbing
Stick to middlebrow Bergman then
Awesome! What’s the track? Thank you for transporting me.
Thanks!🙏 The soundtracks used :

What is the piano music ? Beautiful!

this video is so incomplete without the photography sequence in Le petit soldat with haydn symphony behind.
Jean Luc Godard is to Raoul Coutard as Phil Jackson is to Michael Jordan. All these men had to do was roll out the ball.
