Synopsis:

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 Slow Motion to name but 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. Hugely ambitious in scope, the series covers a wide range of topics from the birth of cinema to Italian neo-realism to Hollywood and beyond. A dazzling montage of sight and sound, Histoire(s) Du Cinema features a diverse array of film extracts, contributions from - among others - Juliette Binoche and Alfred Hitchcock, and an eclectic music soundtrack ranging from Beethoven to Leonard Cohen.

Histoire(s) du cinéma is an 8-part video project begun by Jean-Luc Godard in the late 1980s and completed in 1998. Histoire(s) du cinéma is an examination of the history of the concept of cinema and how it relates to the 20th century; in this sense, it can also be considered a critique of the 20th century and how it perceives itself. The project is considered the most important work of the late period of Godard's career. Histoire(s) du cinéma is always referred to by its French title, because of the word play it implies: histoire means both 'history' and 'story,' and the s in parentheses gives the possibility of a plural. Therefore, the phrase Histoire(s) du cinéma simultaneously means The History of Cinema, Histories of Cinema, The Story of Cinema and Stories of Cinema. Similar double or triple meanings, as well as puns, are a recurring motif throughout Histoire(s) and much of Godard's work.
