Episode description
Between Warholian pop art and Diego Velasquez, Jean Luc-Godard searches for a joie de vivre in perhaps his most astonishingly eye-popping and impressionist work. As iconic screen couple Jean Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina hit the roads of Europe, this hallowed director and his characters make peace with their demons on love, life, and literature, breaking down screen barriers and the form's enduring practices along their way!
This episode is in tribute to Jean-Luc Godard, a master and shepherd of the form who challenged himself and his audiences to never settle for the sandbox presented to them.
