Weekend / Wind From The East by Jean-Luc Godard
Published in 1972, this is a beautiful little copy of Jean-Luc Godard's screenplays for two of his films. 1967's 'Weekend' starring Mireille Darc and Jean Yanne, and 1970's 'Wind From The East', starring Gian Maria Volonté and Anne Wiazemsky.
Includes both screenplays, an essay on 'Godard and Weekend' by Robin Wood and an essay on 'Wind from the East or Godard and Rocha at the Crossroads' by James Roy MacBean.
'Weekend (Currently streaming on the Criterion Channel)
A supposedly idyllic weekend trip to the countryside turns into a never-ending nightmare of traffic jams, revolution, cannibalism and murder as French bourgeois society starts to collapse under the weight of its own consumer preoccupations.'
Wind from the East
“WARNING TO MILITANTS: WATCH OUT. REFLECT. BE EARLY. BE LATE. THINK! MANUFACTURE. SIMPLIFY. BUILD. WAIT. .
A politically oriented film in which images suggestive of a mock western are accompanied by an attack on all cinematic conventions to date and a debate on the nature and possibility of revolutionary cinema.'
