Jean Luc Goddard has never made a good film...

How do you not like the 400 blows?

He was master of posing. I mean, look at how ARTISTIC he is. How cool. And He's from Europe. So everything he makes must be A.R.T.

No. Ad libbed relationship talk, forced references to greek myth, and Godard masturbating through a mouthpiece on screen does not a good film make.

Truffaut actually knows how a camera works, making him better than Godard by default.

Him and Truffaut are the worst FNW filmmakers. It's quite strange seeing the praise that they get. Rivette, Rohmer, Marker and Resnais are superior in every way.

literally the very first film he made is a good one

I, too, love when my movies are shot so poorly even the actors are calling it retarded, then edited together so poorly that people pretend its intentional.

Fuck off Durendal

I've only seen Vivre Sa Vie and Masculin Féminin, and both of those are fantastic. Godard is a pretentious prick, but he's pretty good at making movies.

Le Weekend was based though, both as commentary and comedy

>city woman and farmer arguing over politics while her boyfriend is just slumped dead in the car
>ideologists explaining each others' manifestoes while the one who's supposed to be speaking just eats a sandwich

i'm not taling about breathless(which is bad) you fucking retard
i'm talking about Une femme coquette his actual first film

La Chinoise was good, that train scene was pure Kino.

Number Two is great. Passion is pretty good too. Film Socialism and Goodbye To Language are quite good too. Everything else, I could agree. One of the worst in the new wave anyways.

ITT: low IQ
it must suck to 'not get' kino

That 20 mintue scene in Breathless of the two leads just sitting and talking made me want to self yeet.

I've only seen a Godard I liked and it was something called Everyone for Himself or something

>Un femme coquette

Because why SHOW things in a movie, when you can tell, poorly, and circumspectly?

Fuck I didn't mean circumspectly, I meant overly verbose. That's not even the right word. I'm turning as retarded as Godard.

How is it possible that French never made anything that's as good as works by Italian directors such as Visconti and Antonioni?

What about Renoir? What about Carné? What about Jacques Rivette or Jean Eustache or Philippe Garrel or Claire Denis?

poseurs

Obviously you haven't watched a single film of them. My bad, I should have supposed

>watching French movies without understanding French.
Bande d'hérétiques.

The fact that French filmmakers unironically act like the French soldier from Monty Python and the Holy Grail is not a point in their favour.

Film is a fucking joke desu.

I meant films around 1960s and 1970s. I should have written that in my post. I agree Renoir and Carne are great. Bresson is too, he is the exception. Jacques Rivette has very inconsistent filmography, he only made two great films (La Belle Noiseuse and Celine and Julie Go Boating) so he is not really a competition. Eustache's only good film is Mother and the Whore. Garrel is a director who never made anything good. The same goes for Claire Denis.

>Garrel is a director who never made anything good. The same goes for Claire Denis.
You definitely lost me here. They might not be everybody's taste, but they are two of the most interesting filmmakers alive and some of the few that still dare to experiment and push the boundaries of film form. Eustache's My Little Loves is as good as The Mother and The Whore, and quite Bressonian I would argue.

>They might not be everybody's taste, but they are two of the most interesting filmmakers alive and some of the few that still dare to experiment and push the boundaries of film form.
I disagree it feels like they are making the same film everytime they make one. Basically using the same obsessions but never properly expanding them. The only film i found interesting from Claire Denis is L'intrus. Garrel should choose different aesthetic than black and white, it's getting very stale. I also disagree about them being the only filmmakers that dare to experiment. Peter Greenaway and Pedro Costa are more interesting and make better films.
>Eustache's My Little Loves is as good as The Mother and The Whore, and quite Bressonian I would argue.
I don't remember much from it. I just remember not liking it.

L'Intrus is definitely the best thing Denis has ever made. I would argue that Chocolat is very different from her 90's work and her 90's work is very different from her 00's work. Her latest, High Life, might still be close to some of her 00's work (the ones closer to genre, like Bastards or Trouble Every Day) but something like Let The Sunshine In is quite different also. I think she's one of the best if not the best filmmaker alive. I don't enjoy Greenaway and Costa that much (I loved Costa's Cavalho Dineiro tho), so it might be a matter of personal affinity. Who knows.

I saw Pierrot le fou and was legitimately upset at how awful it was.

False, and I'm sure Goddard was an even bigger commie

Yikes.

>Fuck off, he literally just let the camera roll over improvised lines, then cut it together in a way that doesn't make any goddamn sense. Half of what happens in that film would be called editing mistakes if done by literally anything else. It's not a philosophically deep choice, the dude just shot the film poorly. Literally the only positive thing is the acting performance of the leading male.

You know he was breaking the rules, right? To break the rules you must know them first, and he made a movie that basically outdid everything that was stablished then. Read some analysis before posting bullshit.

Visconti, Antonioni > every director from FNW.

Double yikes.

It's the truth.

Imagine being so tasteless, just imagine.

came in to mention la chinoise, was not disappointed

He's an emotionless alien.
His films are beyond worthless because they have nothing whatsoever to do with human beings.

Bresson's The Devil, Probably feels like a mockery of his entire filmography.

I only watched contempt and vivre sa vie for the female leads, while they were gorgeous the movies were fucking shitty

>watching movies for the women
stick to Hollywood, pleb

I can see that youre a pleb if you wouldnt watch a movie just because of Isabelle adjani

Go home Rian.

all the people he inspired made way better movies than he ever did, maybe that's the point. I agree with Werner Herzog about Godard though

Goddard is the streetfights of martial arts, no poise, no finesse, pure brawl with no rules. It's gripping in its own way, but to celebrate the medium as an artform, it does not achieve that. Nothing bad in dwelling at grass roots, that's something that was wholly lacking in cinema back in the day. Do his films say anything beautiful? No, streetfight isn't beautiful, but it is a part of the world of fight and as such, deserves recognition, but not admiration.

Movie version of le shit in a can.

Godard is an amazing storyteller. His structure is more conventional than you may think. He's not conceptual artist at all.

...

i kinda agree, but he contributed alot to cinema technique . but he definately is a strong pleb filter. very pretentious aswell, even in his better films

this. they simply dont have the knowledge to argue pro or contra

>Film Socialism
its literally the move that even the worst and most pretentious film """"buffs""" disliked. bravo user, you are next level fake

breathless is literally only important as in the context of FNW and the new ideas it brought to cinema. anyone who thins its a good film is a major fraud
