For me it seemed to sum up Godard's blatant, provocative side with his subtle, oblique side.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036103762441216161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-17628334105396555982010-10-17T02:23:02.331+01:002010-10-17T02:23:02.331+01:00Stephen,

I wanted to try to get the right quotes and music and sounds.<br /><br />I will add an index tomorrow.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036103762441216161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-81417552066017507342010-10-03T18:45:28.310+01:002010-10-03T18:45:28.310+01:00Stephen.

A lovely work.<br /><br />How long did it take for you to make the film. I love those segments where a single shot is broken into 2 or three photographs. <br /><br />Also, if possible (I know it's tough) could you provide an index to the sounds and images used?<br /><br />And I see you've got the exact font Godard uses. Excellent.<br /><br />Terrific work, my friend!Just Another Film Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880550053788464732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-63397337545182693522010-09-26T06:37:40.916+01:002010-09-26T06:37:40.916+01:00Thank you very much indeed for the extremely kind ...Thank you very much indeed for the extremely kind words, Sam!<br /><br />I try to write and make posts about things that inspire me the most.
