At the limit of breath
Stephen Scobie, MA 1965
Stephen Scobie celebrates “the greatest film director of his age” with poetry exploring 44 of Godard’s films. Subtle yet profound unities play from poem to poem. Characters, locations, images, and the generous use of quotation jump-cut and recur to send the imagination reeling through the larger works of both artists.
Readers will be seduced to linger within the writing and encouraged to seek beyond, to Godard's own oeuvre. The book is sharply envisioned and carefully cadenced so as to delight readers who may not be familiar with Godard's films.
Those already acquainted with Godard's work will find At the limit of breath a most rewarding experience.
