Jean-Luc Godard Had No Script (2010):
Bengali, 22 min 53 sec
A Mimetic Approach Towards Cinema
The film is not a film at all, but merely a theatrical dress rehearsal captured on a miniDV. The title of the film is exploitative. This is not a spoof on Godard, even characters from Glauber Rocha invades the scene.The basic concept of the film is to stage the way the colonized mind mimics the aesthetical value of European Art Cinema. The concept of 'Cinema' is being killed in the film where the director himself plays the character of Godard ( with lots of quotations from JLG's interviews) wearing a heavy make-up on his face while his hands reveal the original colour of his native skin.He speaks to a critic on the very film being shot and introduces his five characters one by one. The dubbed soundtrack specifies the hierarchical altitude of the two of them.The film unfolds by picking up threads and glimpses from various planes of reality and arranging them around a table.
Let the rest remain untold for the viewing. . . .
