Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema Paperback - 2012
by Daniel Morgan
From the rear cover
"Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema is an exhilarating and extremely lucid analysis of the way Godard 'thinks' in, of, and through cinema. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of French culture, politics and theory, Morgan skillfully illustrates the complex relations between history, aesthetics, and nature in the director's later works. Defying criticism of Godard's alleged retreat from politics, this book provides compelling, detailed, and erudite analyses of his later films and illuminates the auteur's political and aesthetic response to the so-called 'death of cinema.'"-- Mary Ann Doane, author of The Emergence of Cinematic Time: Modernity, Contingency, the Archive.
"Daniel Morgan charts a sensible route into the impenetrable Jean-Luc Godard. Posing clear yet insistent questions, he burrows to the center of both parts of this book's formidable title, finding in late Godard an aesthetic fusion that generates the light and heat of a trenchant and powerful political critique. Anyone who feels drawn or licensed to write about Godard should read Morgan before setting out."--Dudley Andrew, author of What Cinema Is!
"Daniel Morgan's Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema signals a major breakthrough in the international study of the cinema of Jean-Luc Godard. Reconciling the filmmaker's peculiarly Romantic sense of aesthetics --to which the book pays scrupulous, material attention--with the thorny political histories that Godard's cinema has always probed, Morgan gives us new, compelling, synthetic tools with which to understand an artist who is at once the most cryptic and the most sensuous of all living filmmakers."--Adrian Martin, Monash University, co-editor of lolajournal.com
