Portrait of Godard following Histoire(s) du cinema whilst preparing the Travel(s) in Utopia (2006) exhibition at the Georges Pompidou Centre. It is the culmination of successive reinventions, which began with his phase as a critic for Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s, and continued with his revolutionary fiction in the 1960s, his essays in the 1970s, his return to essay fiction in the 1980s, and the coronation of all his work with the Histoire(s) du cinéma project (1988-98). This documentary is an overview of a broader audiovisual project, lasting over nine hours, which extensively reflects Godard’s conversations with theorists and filmmakers like Jean Doucet, Jean-Michel Frodon, Dominique Païni, Anne-Marie Miéville, Straub and Huillet, Jean Narboni, André Labarthe or Nicole Brenez at the beginning of the century.
