It is, as it was intended to be, a trailer for a film festival, but having seen his collage work using film and sound, Jean-Luc Godard is able to make something much more from it than simply commerce and it is admirable. If only more trailers were like this.

une catastrophe/c'est la première strophe/d'un poème d'amour

A wonderfully expressive shot of sound and cinema delivered with characteristic flair and distinctiveness by the world's greatest director. Une Catastrophe cannot claim the probing, gut-punching power of Godard's longer and more extensive work but it's an intriguing capsule nonetheless.

Like a bad film student project. Pointless short.

Pretty sad that someone who has been in the game for nearly 50 years made something like this.
