About Godin
Gérald Godin's life and work were marked by his deep commitment to Quebec. Forgotten or overlooked, his political and literary legacy's contribution to our cultural heritage is invaluable. From Trois-Rivières to Montreal, from the 1960s to the 1995 referendum, via the October prisons and the songs of his partner Pauline Julien, the film Godin combines archives and interviews to retrace the unique journey of a fighter. A striking portrait of the man nicknamed "le député-poète" A cinematic quilt of modern Quebec, woven from an exceptional blend of archives.
Directed by Simon Beaulieu, Godin leans on a strong ensemble — Gérald Godin, Jacques Parizeau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2011.

6.3The Image Book
2018 6.3
In Le Livre d’Image, Jean-Luc Godard recycles existing images (films, documentaries, paintings, television archives, etc.), quotes excerpts from books, uses fragments of music. The driving force is poetic rhyme, the association or opposition of ideas, the aesthetic spark through editing, the keystone. The author performs the work of a sculptor. The hand, for this, is essential. He praises it at the start. “There are the five fingers. The five senses. The five parts of the world (…). The true condition of man is to think with his hands. Jean-Luc Godard composes a dazzling syncopation of sequences, the surge of which evokes the violence of the flows of our contemporary screens, taken to a level of incandescence rarely achieved. Crowned at Cannes, the last Godard is a shock film, with twilight beauty.

A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
