Marcel Ophuls and Jean-Luc Godard: The Meeting in St-Gervais

About This Movie

So, this one’s a gem for those who appreciate the nuance of film discussions. It captures a unique moment in 2009, when Marcel Ophuls and Jean-Luc Godard sit down together in a small Geneva theater. The atmosphere is thick with history and tension; these two titans of cinema, both with their own distinct styles and philosophies, really go at it. The dialogue is at times surprisingly warm, but it’s also contentious, diving deep into the nature of film, art, and politics. You get a real sense of their personalities, quirks, and the weight of their legacies. It’s just them, a live audience, and the rawness of the conversation, making it feel very intimate and alive.

Great for anyone interested in film theory and history.The dialogue feels very personal and engaging.A rare glimpse into the thoughts of two film legends.
