Origins of the 21st Century

Commissioned by the heads of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival to make an opening-night short commemorating cinema as it enters its second full century, Godard instead offers up a 17-minute barrage of re-edited footage of wars and Nazi atrocities, interspersed with clips of Maurice Chevalier in Gigi and Godard's own \u00c0 bout de souffle.\u2014Josh Martin <jmartin@netarrant.net>
