To Alter the Image

4.9198210mMovieTV Movie

1981: at the moment the left won power, French television commissioned Godard to make a film on the theme of change. Like Lettre à Freddy Buache, this film is born of the impossibility of carrying out the commission. For the space where change appears is not the image but the gap between images.
