Je vous salue, Marie
Jean-Luc Godard, 1984, UK, CH, FR, 35mm, 79'
After Passion, Godard filmed Prénom Carmen before embarking on a new project: updating the Holy Scriptures by transposing the Annunciation and the mystery of the Incarnation to today’s world.
"As the daily bread approaches the mouth each day, so should the film bring the viewer closer to their daily life: to love, give life, live life, have a child. Because that’s what Mary represents: she is an image... She’s a virgin image. Leaving no traces. No imprints. Being a virgin means being available, being free. The human density of each couple can be found in the story of the couple that Joseph and Mary form. "(JLG)
