My Life as a Godard Movie

Joanna Walsh
3.72/5 (177 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
A book-length essay on beauty and revolution as seen through the work of Jean-Luc Godard.

As Joanna Walsh watches the films of Jean-Luc Godard, she considers beauty and desire in life and art. “There’s a resistance, in Godard’s women,” writes Walsh, “that is at the heart of his work (and theirs).” She is captivated by the Paris of his films and the often porous border between the city presented on screen and the one she inhabited herself. With cool precision, and in language that shines with aphoristic wit, Walsh has crafted an exquisitely intimate portrait of the way attention to works of art becomes attention to changes in ourselves. Taut and gem-like, My Life as a Godard Movie is a probing meditation by one of our most observant writers.

My Life as a Godard Movie is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.
