Scénarios

Returning to several of the great filmmaker’s lifelong concerns (language, music, art and, of course, cinema), Jean-Luc Godard’s SCÉNARIOS is sufused with a fixation on images of death. The film was completed the week of his passing, and it feels appropriate that a filmmaker so endlessly curious about life would be similarly fascinated by whatever follows it. Having famously declared that a film must have a beginning, middle and end, if not necessarily in that order, one imagines he may have felt similarly about life itself, or at least his own.(Jesse Cumming)

This film will be shown as part of the screening SHORT FILM PROGRAM: GODARD.
