Jean-Luc Godard. Pensar entre imágenes

Jean-Luc Godard (1930-2022) dedicated his entire life to cinema. First as a spectator and critic, and later as a filmmaker, his legacy is one of the pinnacles of the 20th century. In addition to his extensive and diverse body of work —among his more than two hundred films are milestones in the history of moving images such as Breathless, Pierrot le Fou, Hail Mary, Histoire(s) du cinéma, and Film Socialisme— he was one of the filmmakers who most profoundly and thoughtfully considered cinema itself, an aspect he himself deemed as important as the cinematic process. Jean-Luc Godard. Thinking Among Images gathers, for the first time, the ideas that the filmmaker developed and refined throughout countless interviews, lectures, conversations, and presentations, exclusively through Godard's own words. These words, selected and edited by Núria Aidelman and Gonzalo de Lucas, form a constellation of passages in chronological order, revealing the director's ever-evolving thought process in all its richness, complexity, and breadth. Personal memory, the French New Wave, directing actors, the camera, editing, the role of criticism, the function and idiosyncrasies of cinema, fiction and documentary, among many other topics, are interwoven in this essential volume, which is simultaneously a memoir, an essay, and a book on aesthetics.
