...culture, spokesperson for the New Sensibility. The New Sensibility praised form and damned content. It was against interpretation and for an anesthetic revolution founded on the non-literary arts of music, painting, film and architecture. In its pantheon were Jasper Johns and John Cage, Roland Barthes and Jean-Luc Godard, Buckminister Fuller and Alain Robbe-Grillet...
...sixties' avant-garde lies gasping on the beach. That is in its way unfortunate, but at least one encouraging development has grown out of the demise. There are now stirrings of a new political consciousness in the resolutely political avant-garde of the last ten years. So Jean-Luc Godard renounces the bourgeois art that won his reputation, and in the current issue of Partisan Review Sontag has an article on feminism that is more passionate and convincing than any of the novels she's written or films she's made. Change in artistic form is understood as necessary...
...COUNTER cutting-edges of creative forces defining film essence, Stan Brakhage and Jean-Luc Godard have catalyzed complementary film movements. While Godard has brought to bear the history of abstract intellection in vivisecting the codes and conventions of bourgeois narrative film-making, Stan Brakhage has trans substantiated the history of abstract expressionism in creating an answer to the basic question "What is cinema?"

...reach some small amount of insight into the ultimate fallacy of his position. The government has captured some Tupamaros and thus refuses to release their political prisoners in exchange for Santore. The Tupamaros decide that Santore, as most responsible, is to be executed. One of them, Este (Jean-Luc Bideau), explains the situation to Santore. They talk it through. Santore, thinking as a professional policeman, admits that if he were in charge, he would allow himself (as prisoner) to be killed. Este asks him, "Do you mean you're more valuable to them dead than alive?" He can only...
