“The footage that Pennebaker put together is wondrous on its own, as well as revealing on the subject of Godard’s artistic evolution.”—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
(a.k.a. One Parallel Movie). In the fall of 1968, Jean-Luc Godard embarked on his first American movie, One American Movie (One A.M.), a Leacock-Pennebaker production. He abandoned the project well into the shooting, and this film, One P.M., represents an edition of Godard’s rushes mixed together with footage of Godard directing the film and engaging in other activities during his stay in the United States. This assemblage of rushes and other material by D.A. Pennebaker in no way attempts to complete Godard’s film or suggest its final form. One P.M. stands on its own as a fascinating document of a film-in-progress and a prodigious cineaste at work.
• Photographed by Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Leacock, Pennebaker. With Rip Torn, Tom Hayden, Eldridge Cleaver, The Jefferson Airplane. (90 mins, Color, DigiBeta, From Pennebaker Hegedus Films)
