Critical Essay by James Monaco
2,854 words, approx. 10 pages
The idea of participation is integral to Godard's films: it confronts us on every level. To paraphrase Le Gai Savoir, these are not the films that should be made, but when those films are made they will have to follow some of the lines these films have laid down.

Civil...
