In what is quite a coup for the Viennale, Vienna\u2019s film festival, Jean-Luc Godard came out of semi-retirement to make a trailer for the festival, his first film work since 2006. Entitled Une catastrophe, it runs for just sixty-three seconds, but it is hereby claimed for the silent film community because it makes use of Battleship Potemkin and People on Sunday. The film opens with the over-famous Odessa Steps sequence from Potemkin, accompanied probably for the first time by the sounds of a tennis match.
\nThen, following a shot of an agonised man with a knife (from what film?) and gaudy colour footage of war, we get a slowed-down, stop-start sequences of two lovers from People on Sunday (Menschen am Sonntag), Edgar G. Ulmer, Fred Zinnemann and Billy Wilder\u2019s exquisite 1930 drama with a Berlin documentary background. Throw in some fractured titles, snatches of Schumann\u2019s \u201cScenes from Childhood\u201d, and an eighteenth century poem in Low German, and you have a mightily rich concoction for your sixty-three seconds.

Richard Brody writes about Jean-Luc Godard<\/a>, with a related slide show online. Here Brody discusses watching Jean-Luc Godard and Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut, their tumultuous friendship, and French New Wave cinema.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a clip of Jean Luc Godard and Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut<\/a> appeared together on behalf of Cinematheque – (Poor Jean Pierre Leaud who served and work with both masters, caught between the two grandpas of Nouvel Vague. No wonder he aged so fast.)<\/p>\n

It is a real tribute to the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise and its founder Henri Langlois<\/a> that these two often bitter rivals would agree to make a joint appearance to attempt to save this unique institution.<\/p>\n
