Jean-Luc Godard: Unmade and Abandoned New York Performances

At L’Alliance New York, **Jean-Luc Godard: Unmade and Abandoned** screens as a study of the director’s working methods rather than a survey of titles. The program tracks how Godard treated editing, sound, and camera position as a kind of commentary, interrupting narrative to show the machinery of images and ideas. In a city where his films helped shape art-house repertory culture, the series reads as a reminder that form can function like an argument. One clear takeaway is how refusal, in Godard, becomes a discipline.
