GODARD’S GRANDEUR ET DÉCADENCE

Godard expert Richard Brody and the French Institute present the newly restored GRANDEUR ET DÉCADENCE D’UN PETIT COMMERCE DE CINÉMA (1986), directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and previously unreleased in American cinemas.

Both a warning and a love letter to film—yet made for television—Grandeur was photographed by Caroline Champetier, and screens as part of the series CAROLINE CHAMPETIER—SHAPING THE LIGHT.
