Melding together film clips, newsreel footage, painting, music, as well as Godard’s own narration in a transfixing collage, Histoire(s) du cinéma is a passionate cri de coeur by a cinema icon entering a galvanising late period, of which many other works are included in this release. Marked by searching introspection and bold experimentation, these film and video projects evince a creative spirit continuously engaged with the question of cinema’s place in the world, and the world’s place within cinema – not least in Godard’s moving final film, Scénarios (2024), making here its world Blu-ray premiere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 8 episodes of Histoire(s) du cinéma, viewable with two optional English subtitle tracks: a narration translation, and annotated subtitles by Felicity Chaplin identifying clips and images\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLettre à Freddy Buache - Godard's anti-film commissioned for the 500th anniversary of the Swiss city of Lausanne (1982, 11 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft and Hard [Soft Conversation on Hard Subjects] - creative partners Godard and Miéville discuss their work while involved in everyday tasks around their home (co-directed with Anne-Marie Miéville, 1985, 52 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJLG\/JLG, autoportrait de décembre - Godard’s self-portrait documentary finds the filmmaker questioning his place in cinema history and the end of Western culture (1995, 56 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 x 50 Years of French Cinema - in his documentary in celebration of the centenary of cinema, Godard points the camera at himself (co-directed with Anne-Marie Miéville, 1995, 52 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoments choisis des histoire(s) du cinéma - Godard’s re-edit of Histoire(s) du cinéma on 35mm film reorganises footage and includes unique material (2004, 83 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposé du film annonce du film “Scénario” - Jean-Luc Godard presents his idea for a 6-chapter feature film (2024, 36 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScénarios - Godard’s final work (2024, 18 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew introduction by Godard expert Michael Witt (2025, 9 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew interview with Michael Witt on Godard’s magnum opus (2025, 26 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew interview with Godard collaborator Bernard Eisenschitz on the director’s working methods (2025, 13 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtensive archival TV interview with Godard on French programme Bouillon de culture (1993, 56 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition 48-page perfect bound book featuring new essays by film writers Sophia Satchell Baeza and Jawni Han, and an essay by Adrian Martin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited Edition of 5000 copies, presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radiance Films","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41228005769265,"sku":null,"price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/9878\/2001\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_e9955589-bb4e-44d4-ad78-4fece9378bd7.jpg?v=1789540595","url":"https:\/\/openframemedia.co\/products\/histoires-du-cinema-and-other-works-radiance-limited-edition-blu-ray","provider":"Open Frame Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
