duas ou três coisas

2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle, Jean-Luc Godard (1967)



de 1967, ou seja, tem menos dois anos do que eu. quarenta e três anos é a idade mínima, nesse caso, das ideias de Film Socialisme (número um na Lumière 4, via C.). mas desconfio que tenham meio século, que valida já um não-te-disse.

"The famous cosmos in a coffee cup sequence is the most remarkable scene in the film and a perfect example of Godard’s methodology. As a café patron stirs cream in his coffee, the camera captures a close-up which reveals an image resembling the universe in motion. The overlapping dialogue during this shot is a direct expression of Godard’s current state of mind regarding the world and the disappointment of his own cinema to achieve its lofty goals:

“But since social relations are always ambiguous, since thought divides as much as it unites, since words unite or isolate by what they express or omit, since an immense gulf separates my subjective awareness from the objective truth I represent for other, since I constantly blame myself, though I feel innocent, since every event transforms my daily life, since I constantly fail to communicate, since each failure makes me aware of solitude, since I cannot escape crushing objectivity or isolating subjectivity, since I cannot rise to the state of being, or fall into nothingness, I must listen, I must look around more than ever, The world, my kin, my twin.”
