Comment ça va (Jean-Luc Godard, Anne-Marie Miéville; France, 1978)

at PFA Theater
(see times)
(a.k.a. How’s It Going). A journalist, who is making a video on his newspaper’s production process, discusses the rough cut with his collaborator (played by Miéville, largely unseen). For her, it’s not going well. Why is that image used instead of this? Why is this image cut here rather than there? They realize—as Godard did so often—that they must start over, differently…. Much like Ici et ailleurs, completed two years earlier, this is a work of deconstruction, both of cinema and its processes and of the transmission (and control) of information whether via the press, a photograph, a letter, or a film.
