i do not enjoy his films at all but i recognize that they are incredibly influential

Alphaville and Film Socialisme are two of the shittiest movies I've ever seen.

Breathless and Band of Outsiders are two of the best.

I've only seen King Lear but I thought the part at the beginning where Norman Mailer says, "OH YES, MAILER, WE'RE OFF TO GOOD START" is pretty hilarious given what a self involved dickhead Norman Mailer was

One of the first filmmakers I obsessesly studied in muh childhood by checking out all his criterion dvds from the public library.

Watched all his movies ~5 times each, watching all the different the criterion commentaries from film scholars and him and whatever. Maybe one of the favorite parts of my life. Just get home the fucking library, smoke like one half hit of pot and get super high, and study the FUCK out of entire genres and filmographies in order in stuff.

Probably was entirely caused by being obsessed with Pulp Fiction. Wanted to know what A Band Apart was a meme about. Some of his movies fucking blew my mind and were incredibly inspiring for someone that fantasized about making movies for cheap. Been hoarding a wheelchair converted to a dolly for like 10 years because this bozo used a wheelchair dolly once.

I TALKED to Barzini!

I’ve never been able to appreciate any of his films, nor even understand them. I find his films affected, intellectual, self-obsessed and, as cinema, without interest and frankly dull. I’ve always thought that he made films for critics.

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.

WHO???!?!?!?!??

based herzog

i like his films but i do not like him

Une femme est une femme and Band a part are my two favourites of his, though he's never been particularly meaningful to me.

Literally, and I mean unironically LITERALLY ME

post old polaroids of anna karina's tits

I've seen and found his 60s work to be stylish and often funny, liking the radicalness of them.
I don't know anything about his after 60s films or how to get into them.

Actually to add, did anyone see Redoubtable/Godard Mon amour?

Apparently he mistreated Anna Karina?

I'm more of a Melville guy tbqhfl.

Literally nothing happens in Breathless but I kept watching for some reason

slice of life anime realized in France

Moe Green. He practically invented Las Vegas

The Maoism is stupid; he’s a commie prick. I like his pick of French qts. I like his brechtian music choices (and I hate Brecht). He does good work with actors. I think he’s transitioned well into the digital age when most oldfags can’t. And I like his low budget approach; he gets kino that big budget fags can’t buy.

Pierrot le Fou is absolute kino

Resnais > Truffaut > Rohmer > Godard > Varda > Rivette

I saw one of his films, Breathless, and I didn't like it, then I found out he was a communist and now I don't even bother to see any of his movies

Celine and Julie Go Boating is a masterpiece

Truffaut >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Godard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the others

Found this book in the library when I was a teen. Covers the directors of the French New Wave. Couldn't give a shit about French movies. What the heck, I'll just skim through the book. Once I reach the chapters on Godard I'm immediately hooked. Read the Godard chapters over and over because I could not find his movies anywhere. Without Monaco I wouldn't have known about Godard, let alone how to watch his movies. This book made me want to make movies.

I liked in Faces Places where he snubbed Agnes Varda for no reason.
