Edouard Vuillard « Les allées du souvenir »

A bit disregarded by the historians, the painter Edouard Vuillard is now finding a place of very first plan in the history of modern art. This film is more particularly interested in Jardins Publics, a serie of nine panels painted in 1874. Five panels are today in Orsay Museum, three others are exhibited somewhere else and the ninth disappeared. Under the apparent simplicity of the themes - women and children in a large park- there is a multitude of historical, technical and plastical riddles. Video tools permit to elucidate a few ones and even to recompose in its colours the panel disappeared during the second world war. And the deciphering of a Vuillard painting drag the spectator into a curious bouncing adventure...

The Image Book

In Le Livre d’Image, Jean-Luc Godard recycles existing images (films, documentaries, paintings, television archives, etc.), quotes excerpts from books, uses fragments of music. The driving force is poetic rhyme, the association or opposition of ideas, the aesthetic spark through editing, the keystone. The author performs the work of a sculptor. The hand, for this, is essential. He praises it at the start. “There are the five fingers. The five senses. The five parts of the world (…). The true condition of man is to think with his hands. Jean-Luc Godard composes a dazzling syncopation of sequences, the surge of which evokes the violence of the flows of our contemporary screens, taken to a level of incandescence rarely achieved. Crowned at Cannes, the last Godard is a shock film, with twilight beauty.
