Harun Farocki, Kaja Silverman, Speaking about Godard, New York University Press, New York and London 1998

Probably the most prominent living filmmaker, and one of the foremost directors of the postwar era, Jean-Luc Godard has received surprinsingly little critical attention in the United States. With Speaking about Godard, leading film theorist Kaja Silverman and filmmaker Harun Farocki address this gab in a lively set of conversations about Godard and his major films, from My Life to Live to New Wave. Combinging the insights of a feminist theorist with those of an avant-garde filmmaker, these eigth dialouges - each representing a different period of Godard's film production, and together spanning his entire career - get at the very heart of his formal and theorectical innovations, teasing out, with probity and grace, the ways in which image and text inform one another throughout Godard's oeuvre.
