In chapter one I examine the first part of Godard’s film career (1952-1967). Influenced by the events of May 1968, Godard renounced his films as bourgeois only to announce a new method of filmaking that reflected French Maoist politics. In chapter two I discuss Godard and the Dziga Vertov Group’s last film Tout va bien. This film displays a marked difference in style from Godard’s earlier films, yet does not display a clear understanding of how to make a political film of this measure without alienating the audience. In contrast to this film, I contrast Guy Debord’s (1931-1994) contemporaneous film The Society of the Spectacle (1973). Debord successfully dealt with alienation in film. A study of Godard’s filmaking from this period can dispel the idea of paradox in his oeuvre of film. 2007-10-09 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1187058681 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1187058681 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
