4.0 out of 5 stars Come on Carmen, 1 Jun 2009
This review is from: First Name: Carmen [ English subtitles ] (DVD)
This film works. It's the process of making a film. It's the story of Carmen using
Beethoven rather than Bizet.It's a documentary which is a fiction. A washed up
director,Godard, is visited by his niece in a mental hospital.She wants to make
a film and wants to loan his video cameras and apartment by the sea.She turns
bank robber with the terrorist group to fund their activities .They aim to kidnap
an industrialist or his daughter Everything is done in comic book style She falls in love and out with the guard at the bank.Their love affair
is shot in the apartment and in a hotel.We have comic book betrayal,jealousy
and passion.Her uncle leaves hospital and helps in the making of the film:
his every corrosive quote is documented by his amenuensis.
The film uses several framing devices:the sight and sound of rolling waves,
a string quartet rehearsing Beethoven whose mistakes show the difficulty
of film making, the mad director, the crazy bank robbery. All in all it somehow
works The coming together of several elements makes individual progress
difficult. And not surprisingly capitalism gets slated. The violinist is the remote
figure loved by the guard but who is not his girlfriend: it is suggested she
is day-dreaming the whole thing up. There are multiple frames of reference
in a multi-tiered story.The narrative of Carmen a mere peg to be ignored.
Picture making is akin to crime: stealing life, since film as a medium is
an end in itself ,a Brechtian tool for deconstruction .Godard does the whole
thing with such wit and panache, interweaving music and image and sends
himself up in the process. The waves even recall New Wave.
