JLG/JLG finds the grand master and poet of the cinema Jean-Luc Godard in one of his most accessible manifestations since his early work. In this film-notebook we encounter Godards ideas and images focused on the end of cinema and of Western culture. Godard stars in JLG/JLG as a fictional character of his own creation caught up and almost overcome in the dead of winter. He suffers the rude interruption of critics and the cheeky services of a pretty maid, while spinning out a tale of «his-story» contemplating the end of Western culture, cinema and his own mortality. A busy day in the life of the artist as King Lear. (Rob Tregenza)
