its called socialisme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhqOF...eature=related

Skuj · 11.01.2009, 01:39 AM

Yeah, shit, I'm impatiently waiting for the new one, gaddammit.

His later stuff is overlooked, and needlessly overshadowed by his 60s work. I have a box-set of 80s/90s works which is JUST AS ENGAGING / BAFFLING / BEAUTIFUL as any of his other works. The man just fucken amazes me.

atsonicpark · 11.01.2009, 06:41 AM

Yeah, OH WOE IS ME is just amazing, I think that was '93? I tend to like his later work better, def. Notre Musique.. fuck!

ni'k · 11.02.2009, 08:19 AM

it's supposed to be here http://www.thepiratebay.org/tor/3653526/
according to http://freakyflicks.50webs.com/

i downloaded it years ago from that site but the link isnt working now.

there is more godard on that site tho.

atsonicpark · 11.16.2009, 09:02 PM

here are Godard I own: Alphaville, Pierrot Le Fou, In Praise of Love, Notre Musique, A Woman is a Woman, Breathless, Keep Your Right Up, Detective, Oh Woe Is Me, Contempt, Passion, First Name: Carmen, Number 2, Comment Ca Va, La Gai Savoir, My Life to Live, Band of Outsiders, King Lear (finally got the torrent!!), Weekend, Made in USA, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, Historie(s) Du Cinema box set, and his television show called Tour/Detour or something like that.

So, yeah, if anyone wants to hook me up with anything else, pm me..

slut · 11.16.2009, 09:14 PM

seen most of Breathless. I need to get that out again, but it was cool. It's always talked about as being pioneering blah blah blah but it had substance.

a) is a strange motherfucker isn't it? I need to reattack that one. It fucked me up, and I got downright pissed off, and yet, I want to see it again.

b) I read so many glowing reviews about this.....what's it like for you? Monumental?

atsonicpark · 11.17.2009, 04:20 AM

Re: B, I just ordered it from ebay for $30 so I have no idea what it's like. Watched some stuff from it on youtube and it was pretty fucking awesome looking.

I really like the Tour/Detour thing he did. It's on ubuweb but you can't "easily" download it like you can most of their stuff, so I just went to view page source and copied the links into my browser. It's some weird television show he did and is pretty similiar to a lot of the stuff he was doing at the time.

Really really want something he did called THE OLD PLACE and JLG/JLG - AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN DECEMBER (a vhs of this is going for like $130 minimum everywhere I look). Found a few torrents but they're dead.

a-p a. niemi · 11.17.2009, 04:04 PM

atsonicpark you have this: http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM_Cinema/5001.php ?

atsonicpark · 11.17.2009, 04:30 PM

About 50$.

atsonicpark · 11.28.2009, 08:59 PM

Okay, I have all of his main films (and a lot of his shorts) now except for novelle vague and germany 90 years later, which my friend is copying for me.

This guy is my favorite director. His films have so much depth. I can't even explain it. I'm not gonig to pretend I "get" everything he's saying in his newer works but they're all amazingly beautiful. I've probably watched PIERROT LE FOU 20 times in the past 6 months.

ni'k · 11.28.2009, 09:22 PM

i bought le weekend dvd o a whim in hmv one time, thinking the cover looked interesting, man i remember watching it for the first time and just being so completly floored. it doesnt have the same effect as that first time. when i rewatched it later the piano scene was different from my memory, i have a different version of the piano playing going on in my head that i want to record some time.

his use of music is exactly how music in films SHOULD be played, the only other time ive seeen this done right is in old anime were the siilence over certain scenes that would be have music on them in hollywood is striking.

i have high hopes for socialisme and badiou's appearance

atsonicpark · 11.28.2009, 09:27 PM

yeah, weekend was the first one i saw too, reccomended to me by netflix and it blew my mind, never had seen anythingl ike it before, had no idea who godard was. it's getting re-released by criterion sometime in 2010, should be interesting...

seriously, the freeway scene and that scene where she talksa bout cracking the egg in her vagina... man!

Skuj · 11.29.2009, 01:13 AM

atsonic, marry me. I adore Pierrot. I never tire of it - my fav Godard amongst the many I've seen. I've viewed it about 6 times in the last year. It's so beautiful.

I just got Made In The USA, 2 Or 3 Things and A Married Woman in the mail.

I never saw Weekend yet, and I'm thrilled about the 2010 Criterion news.

atsonicpark · 11.29.2009, 01:19 AM

Haven't watched A MARRIED WOMAN yet, though I have it sitting on my shelf. 2 or 3 Things and Made in USA are both mindblowing in their own little way. 2 or 3 Things is definitely one of my favs, that shot of the coffee cup alone makes the movie.

I just watched his KING LEAR and it's awesome, one of my favorites. I can't even describe this one. First of all, it's all in English. Second of all, it has Peter Sellers, Molly Ringwald, and Woody Allen in it. Third of all, it's Godard's most insane film by far... the distant son of Shakespeare is trying to reinterpret his works, or something, and this has to do with random seagull sounds all over the soundtrack and a guy obsessed with xeroxing his own hand. Some of the droning and most awesome music I've heard, sprinkled with a few Shakespear quotations... two of the actresses walked off while making this film and Godard just replaced them with new actresses and doesn't really exlain anything. This movie is just completely insane and essential...

i'll wait for the release and/or DVD-- i hate shitty vidcaps, pirate cams, and slow bittorrents.

film needs you know it needs the vivid spectacle of the circus

i want a fucking 50" screen i do i do... oh capitalist pig i am!

atsonicpark · 11.29.2009, 11:13 AM

I read that for it'll never be out in america on dvd because of some rights thing but who knows.
