Since 1968, in a break which crystallized around contemporary political struggles, Godard has been engaged on experiments in image and sound beyond the institutions of cinema and television. The results are rarely seen on our screens. Godard : Images , Sounds, Politics is an important step in making those experiments visible. It reads the earlier films through the more recent work, focusing on politics, technology and sexuality. These insistent themes dominate Godard's investigation of our representation in the image, a representation always inflected by sound. These terms enable us to understand more critical the circulation of money and images in which we participate, a circulation which Godard's work cuts across. Includes essays by Colin MacCabe, Laura Mulvey, and Mick Eaton. Godard himself, in a series of interviews, comments on the analysis of each chapter.
