Notre musique, c’est celle de tout le monde
This book recounts an interview that Jean-Luc Godard gave to film historian Michael Witt back in 2005. Its title translates to “Our music is everyone’s music”. Godard talks in depth about his then new film, Notre musique, which “explores the prospects for building bridges —both material and metaphorical, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, then recently ravaged by war. Referring to the violent history of Europe, the Amerindian genocide, and the Israel-Palestine conflict, the film offers a brilliant demonstration of the ‘principle of cinema’ outlined by the filmmaker in his fictional conference in Sarajevo: “go to the light, and direct it on our night. Our music.”
The book was edited in Paris by 202 éditions, and was designed by Paule Palacios-Dalens using Akzidenz-Grotesk (Berthold) in cover titles and interior subtitles, Borges for the main text and Borges Título Blanca for the interior headings (both by Loche, PampaType).
