This was a major work, and has generated a good deal of critical comment. As well as being a history of cinema, it was also a history of the age - and a history of Godard himself. It was completed in 1998 (but may develop further): there were five audio CDs (from Edition of Contemporary Music Records),2 a video release of the 8 parts on video from Gaumont (running to 266 minutes), and a boxed set of 4 books from Gallimard.3 A 90-minute 'best of' film was edited for cinemas: Le Moment choisi des Histoire(s) de cin?ma, 2004). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Histoire(s) du Cin?ma, Jean-Luc Godard delivered a poetic document of cinema in his highly idiosyncratic style of overlays and endless quotations, a montage style all his own, which combined multiple voices, layers of sounds and music, sound clips from films, captions, and an endless stream of visuals (interspersed with images of Godard at work in his offices, typing or writing or talking). Histoire(s) du Cin?ma was a super-dense collage of photos, music, sounds and movie clips, written texts, taking in prints (Rembrandt, Dor?), paintings (Turner, Moreau, Renoir, Goya, Gr?newald, Delacroix, Kandinsky, van Gogh, Uccello, Klimt, Gentileschi, Giotto, Botticelli, Angelico, Fuseli, Caravaggio, Blake, El Greco, Piero, Monet, Manet, Picasso, Byzantine ikons), writers (Rimbaud, C?line, Brecht, Bataille, Faulkner, Flaubert, Duras, Val?ry, Hugo, Dante, Ovid, Aragorn, Malraux, Proust, Gide), cin?-heroes like Henri Langlois, newsreel, pornography, television, and complex video techniques, such as super-impositions, irses, masked frames, visual mixes, flash cuts, repeated phrases, and echo and reverb effects on voices and sounds. And it's Godard's vision, his narration, his philosophy, his ideas, and his emotions that unites it all, that makes it all work. Certainly there are very few filmmakers on the planet who could've pulled it off. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated.
