34° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
THINGS TO COME

IL NUOVO MONDO

NEW WORLD
by Jean-Luc Godard
Country: Italy, France
Year: 1962
Duration: 30'


Godard’s episode of Ro.Go.Pa.G. (the collective film by Rossellini, Godard, Pasolini and Gregoretti) describes an unnamed city-symbol (Paris, actually); after an atomic bomb explodes, the inhabitants find themselves the same as before but without any feelings: a narrator’s voice and live shooting in pure nouvelle vague style for this parable of quiet desperation.


In collaboration with Cineteca Nazionale

Biography

film director

Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard (Paris, 1930) is one of the absolute protagonists of the Nouvelle Vague, first as a militant film critic for “Cahiers du cinéma” during the 1950s, then as a director, right from his debut with Breathless (1960). Over the course of a career which has lasted almost fifty years, Godard has established himself as one of the most radical and rigorous innovators of the film language.
