Jean-Luc Godard transformed the face of cinema with his prolific, influential and revolutionary body of work which includes such classics as Breathless, Weekend and Contempt just to name a few. His video series HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA, consisting of eight episodes made over a period of ten years is an extraordinary look at the medium through the eyes of this unique filmmaker.
