Scenario du Film 'Passion' (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #31.1 extract: Scenario du Film 'Passion' (1982)

Scenario du Film Passion is a semi-solid experimental 'making of' video in which Godard explains and reflects on the script writing process of his film Passion. 

Having not seen Passion yet, I can't judge exactly how good this is, but Godard is relatively focused and precise with his use of imagery and dialogue here. Whilst I believe this could have been boiled down to a short essay that captures the essence of what he communicates, Godard's ideas of seeing and describing and finding a balance between reality and metaphor, between labour and love, spliced in with some expressive sequence of sound montage, make this a worthwhile watch.
