Who Knew?

Watched Part 1 of this during a class I visited. (I’m in Maine for the week.) Leaving aside my whole personal bias towards viewing poetry and/or free-associative imagery on a page instead of a screen, most of the episode consisted of Godard’s narration dubbed over found footage that stuttered frame-by-frame. The difficulty is, that technique has been reappropriated in the past couple of years by buffering YouTube videos on slow connections that stop playing every couple of frames. I’ve almost been trained not to pay attention to Godard’s technique.
