"Jean-Luc Godard's Histoire(s) du cinéma - as TV series/video essay - was made for Canal+, ARTE and Gaumont, from 1988 to 1998. The work subdivides into four chapters of two parts each. A combination of music and images creates Jean-Luc Godard's interpretation of the history of cinema."
"Faire une histoire du cinéma c'est raconter Toutes les histoires nées du désir mégalomane de leur réalisateur d'être maître du monde. Le cinéma se met à exister à développer Une histoire seule, fragile mais la sienne, héritière de la photographie, à chuchoter les histoires des hommes. Seul le cinéma est capable de projeter les histoires des hommes à tous les peuples, même si ces histoires sont liées à la Fatale beauté des corps torturés, ceux d'Eisenstein du Caravage ou du Gréco. Confronté à ce qu'il aurait pu être, un instrument de pensée, confronté aux lâchetés de la guerre, le cinéma n'est plus que La monnaie de l'absolu. C'est en Italie d'abord, dès la fin de la guerre que le cinéma se relève puis, Une vague nouvelle nait en France permettant égalité et fraternité entre le réel et la fiction, de Langlois à Franju avec Jacques Demy et François Truffaut. Hitchcock prend Le contrôle de l'univers parce qu'il produit des images dont on se souvient. Il fait mieux qu'Alexandre Dumas, Jules César et Napoléon ou même Cezanne dont mille personnes se souviendront des pommes. Avec le sac à main de Marnie, le chignon de Madeleine dans Vertigo, l'autocar dans le désert de La mort aux trousses, le verre de lait de Soupçon, les ailes du moulin de Correspondant 17, les signes parmi nous sont visibles par un milliard de spectateurs. Une saturation de signes magnifiques qui baignent dans la lumière de leur absence d'explication sont disponibles au spectateur du cinéma."
"An extraordinary look at motion pictures as seen through the eyes of the reknowned filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, who transformed the face of cinema with his prolific, influential, and revolutionary body of work, which includes such classics as Breathless, Weekend, and Contempt. Consisting of eight episodes made over a period of ten years, the series covers a wide range of topics, from the birth of cinema to Italian neo-realism to Hollywood and beyond."

"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."
"SUMMARY: UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Film and Television Department of the French Consulate of Los Angeles present "Godard began work on his monumental survey of the cinema in 1988. Turning to video technology to tell the story of the century of celluloid as it rapidly drew to a close, Godard took the next ten years to construct a sustained montage of film clips, music fragments, sound effects, on-screen text and voice-over, not so much a history of the cinema as a critique of it. The resulting eight-part, 260-minute work washes over the viewer in surging waves of quotations, references and autobiographical reflections. Magisterial and mercurial, overwhelming and intimate, HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA finds a giant of the cinema surveying the myriad intersections between the larger history of the 20th century and a life spent embroiled in the meaning of the moving image. The genesis for HISTOIRE(S) was a series of lectures that Godard gave at the University of Montreal in 1978, but its structure and themes reach back to the influence of Henri Langlois' pell-mell programming at the Cinémathèque Française and Godard's own early criticism in Cahiers du Cinéma. Returning repeatedly to images of war and the Holocaust, Godard moves between documentary and fictional modes to strike an elegiac tone over the cinema's failure to recognize the urgent, ugly truths of the century it helped to shape. Acknowledging and probing the cinema's fall from grace, Godard nevertheless struggles to commune with the medium's ineffable allure. Since its completion in 1998, HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA has been broadcast on European television, released on VHS and adapted into a book accompanied by a collection of audio CDs. However, until recently, it has been rarely screened in this country. The Archive is proud to present the local premiere of Gaumont's fully subtitled video restoration of HISTOIRE(S) over two nights. More than a summation of a career or an era, HISTOIRE(S) is, like all of Godard's best work, a vital call for a new kind of cinema. Presented in conjunction with the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and its program, "The Films That Got Away."

""Godard's epochal study of 20th century cinema is unlike any other. A collage of clips, stills and images of great paintings accompanied by passages of music and dialogue, this contemplation on the great 20th century art form becomes, in Godard's hands, a commentary on the century's catastrophes and follies." [Distributor's statement]."
"Serie de TV (1988-1998) que supone una de las obras más importantes del director y, para algunos, la mirada más lúcida sobre la Historia del Cine. Utiliza la técnica del collage: fragmentos de films, textos, citas, fotos, cuadros, fragmentos musicales, sonidos, y lecturas a cargo de narradores de excepción: Juliette Binoche, Alain Cuny, Julie Delpy y el propio Godard"
"Una serie de videos que consta de ocho episodios, realizados durante un período de diez an̋os, cubriendo una amplia gama de temas, desde el nacimiento del cine al neo-realismo italiano de Hollywoood y más allá."
"Questo cofanetto presenta la prima edizione italiana di una delle opere fondamentali, e certamente più suggestive, mai apparse intorno all'arte del cinema. I due dvd raccolgono l'intera serie video di 'Histoire(s) du cinéma', il corso incessante della storia del cinema cui si dedica la passione e la riflessione di Godard."@it

A history of the cinema, and history interpreted by the cinema. An hommage and a critique. An anecdotal autobiography, illuminated by Godard's encyclopedic wit, extending the idiom established by JLG par JLG. An epic - and non-linear - poem. A freely associative essay. A vast multi-layered musical composition. Histoires du cinéma is all of these. It is above all, a work made by a man who loves and is fascinated by the world of film."--http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews29/histoire_du_cinema.htm."
