Jean-Luc Godard - Ici et ailleurs AKA Here and Elsewhere (1976)

Jean-Luc Godard's short feature about the PLO was initially shot with Jean-Pierre Gorin in the Middle East in 1970, but when he edited the footage with Anne-Marie Mieville several years later, many of the soldiers that had been filmed were dead. Reflecting on this fact, as well as on the problems of recording history and of making political statements on film, Godard and Mieville produced a thoughtful and provocative essay on the subject.
Coming after the mainly arid reaches of Godard's "Dziga Vertov Group" period (roughly 1968-1973), when his efforts were largely directed toward severing his relation with commercial filmmaking and toward forging new ways to "make films politically," this film assimilates many of the lessons he learned without the posturing and masochism that marred much of his earlier work. The results are a rare form of lucidity and purity. All proportions guarded, it is a little bit like hearing John Coltrane's "Blues for Bessie" after the preceding explorations of "Crescent" and "Wise One" on his Crescent album.
