Jean-Luc Godard Parcours Livre d’image

This autumn, Nanterre-Amandiers will be opening its doors to Jean-Luc Godard and unfurling Le Livre d’image. This new opus sees Jean-Luc Godard moving away from cinema halls and into non-habitual spaces. Accordingly, the presentation of the film will be accompanied by other works by the film-maker spread across the different spaces of the theatre.

Le Livre d’image is a film divided, rather like the five fingers of the hand, into five chapters comprising images taken in the collective memory of cinema and the arts. Jean-Luc Godard saturates the colours, organises successions and superimpositions, shifts and variations in format and rhythm. He dubs them with his voice, sounds, texts read out aloud, and music. He does this to offbeat effect, rather like building a house with the remains of chateau, by adapting the shapes and experimenting with the contrasts. This enables him to trace a path through the major elements of human history that have left their market upon his films: war, the law, the other, elsewhere, the couple, impossible innocence, language and love.
Twenty years ago, he presented the last episode in the Histoire(s) du cinema series. Video, “the graveyard of cinema”, has made possible the exploration of cinematic art and its mutations. This time around, the Livre d’image draws upon these same elements in order to look at “a century finishing in the next”: the description of our present through the memory of cinema.
In a society saturated by images, Jean-Luc Godard makes cinema evolve in terms of its shape and its presentation, thereby pursuing one of the most accomplished of this art form’s different ambitions: the existence of a thought via the image and an image of the thought. Oscillating between fury and benevolence, the Livre d’image, a cinematographic poem of both destruction and despair, opens the possibilities of a cinema which reflects the world and continues to reinvent itself at the same time.
