The Reality of a Reflection: An Exploration of Jean-Luc Godard's Filmography

Mubi's retrospective For Ever Godard is showing from November 12, 2017 - January 16, 2018 in the United States.Jean-Luc Godard is a difficult filmmaker to pin down because while his thematic concerns as an artist have remained more or less consistent over the last seven decades, his form is ever-shifting. His filmography is impossible to view in a vacuum, as his work strives to reflect on the constantly evolving cinema culture that surrounds it: Godard always works with the newest filmmaking technologies available, and his films have become increasingly abstracted and opaque as the wider culture of moving images has become increasingly fragmented. Rather than working to maintain an illusion of diegetic truth, Godard’s work as always foreground its status as a manufactured product—of technology, of an industry, of on-set conditions and of an individual’s imagination. Mubi’S Godard retrospective exemplifies the depth and range of Godard’s career as

Looking back at Hudson Hawk

Feature Simon Brew 20 Mar 2013 - 06:28

An infamous moment in Bruce Willis' film career, 1991's Hudson Hawk didn't deserve its critical drubbing, Simon argues...

"It has very intellectual hip humor in it; it has very sophomoric broad slapstick comedy; it has elements of a road picture; it has more romance than any film that I have ever done; it has action; it has big stunts; it has a very dark sensibility... It's a film that needs to be experienced more than explained..." - Bruce Willis on Hudson Hawk.

One of the complaints levelled by director Peter Farrelly at the reception ot 2013's Movie 43, was that it wasn't the film its critics were expecting. And, to paraphrase Farrelly, when they got something different, they slaughtered it.

Back in 1991, director Michael Lehmann may have had similar feelings towards the feeding frenzy that ensued when his Bruce Willis vehicle, Hudson Hawk,

Manning up for The Expendables 2 - The Dolph Lundgren Rampage

Tom Jolliffe mans up in preparation for The Expendables 2 with an overdose of explosive action cinema, beginning with 'The Dolph Lundgren Rampage'...

Over the course of the next 6 weeks, I will be getting myself ready for the action spectacular that is The Expendables 2. This will be possibly the manliest film ever made, so with that in mind I feel it necessary to man the hell up in preparation by re-watching films from the Expendables themselves. Each star, a load of action, and possibly a whole bunch of dead brain-cells by the time the release date rolls around.

The rules are simple. I shall be avoiding the most iconic roles, like Rambo for Sly, the Terminator for Arnold etc., with the exception of naff sequels. I will be thinking randomly, delving into some of the darkest recesses of these muscular CVs, as well as some films that simply get forgotten.

On DVD: "The Wedding Director," Michael Powell

By Michael Atkinson

Turning 70 this year, Marco Bellocchio has finally attained old-guard respectability, in light of the ironic, seasoned, historically quizzical mastery of "My Mother's Smile" (2002), "Good Morning, Night" (2003) and now "The Wedding Director" (2006). Notorious here as a mere provocateur (largely thanks to Maruschka Detmers' half-hearted blowjob in "Devil in the Flesh"), Bellocchio has always seemed young and ready to rumble ever since his 1965 debut "Fists in the Pocket," fashioned, when he was 26, as a sneak attack on all things Old World Catholic, provincial, late-baroque, aristocratic and traditional. Now, after many darkling family tales and adaptations of Pirandello, Bellocchio has mellowed into a ruminative, absurdist autumnal mood, and "The Wedding Director" is his most sheerly enjoyable film in years. The movie has a pleasantly Rivette-like dimension to it -- however much we see, we're always aware of something unmentioned and mysterious going on at the fringes of the story.
