An intimate conversation, mixed with the sounds of a festive crowd.

1976 film by Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville

Jean-Luc Godard observe la journée de deux enfants d'une dizaine d'années, un petit garçon et une petite fille, pour s'interroger sur la réalité, sur les mots, sur les images, et aussi sur la télévision. Au cours de chaque émission, composée de rubriques variées à la manière d'un magazine, Jean-Luc Godard établit des allers et retours: entre l'école et la famille, entre les loisirs et le travail, entre le sommeil et le réveil, tels que les enfants les perçoivent et les racontent en réponse à des questions qui les surprennent. D'autres allers et retours suivent: entre les choses et le langage, entre les apparences et ce qu'elles cachent, entre les enfants et les adultes...

In this astonishing twelve-part project for and about television — the title of which refers to a 19th-century French primer Le tour de la France par deux enfants — Godard and Miéville take a detour through the everyday lives of two children in contemporary France.

A UNICEF-sponsored six-film anthology depicting childhood horrors around the world. "Hassane" - a malnourished child in Niger needs help from the doctors, but village traditions prohibit it. "Liouba" - a child escapes to the forest after a beating by his alcoholic mother, but the games he plays in the forest mirror his troubles at home. "Boy" - a child faces discrimination as the only white student at his school. "Carmelo" - in Bogota a child living on the streets fights to survive. "Oca" - when his twelve year old brother dies free-diving in the Philippines, seven year old Oca must take his place on the job. "L'enfance de l'art" - children living and playing in a war zone are touched by violence.

兩個女人與兩個男人會面，彼此交談並提問，問答內容甚至包括遣詞用句的意涵，但主要是關於愛與幸福的人類基本話題。愛的和諧是否能和智慧與才智，恐懼與疲倦相互調和、共存？這四位知曉人生存在價值的男女，以幽默、嚴肅和愉悅之情，攜手共同尋找自己的路。在本片中，聰慧的女導演米耶維勒思考著情侶關係、智識的無趣和疲乏，以及語言的限制。透過四位人物，她將這些亙久以來的人生疑問如戲劇化的白日夢般呈現。這部影片也是一場哲學式的白日夢，談論著孤獨與劇場–也就是電影。 米耶維勒在本片中大量運用文學與哲學典故，如康拉德、海德格、雨果和托爾斯泰之名作或啟人深省的話語，不僅讓影片充滿溫暖與幽默，同時帶觀眾一探她自傳式的過往與哲學背景。本片的迷人之處，在於這齣沙發電影顯露的讓人困惑的處境和喜劇，以及逐漸發展成伴侶治療的後續結果。高達也演出其中一個要角Robert，帶著一貫的嘲諷和引經據典的習慣，比如他向一對雙眼閃爍幸福之光的情侶說：「希望你們不會指望愛能帶來幸福。」他與米耶維勒在片中有精彩的對手戲，米耶維勒難得的強硬姿態，從高達年邁啜泣的身影，到兩人相擁、重修舊好，彷彿是對兩人在現實世界關係的思考。 影片開始，米耶維勒以幾段拍攝孩童的家庭錄像影片說明本片拍攝的動機，然後以一個慢動作鏡頭拍攝米耶維勒身穿鬥牛服，在劇院鎂光燈下奮力揮動長鞭的挺拔身影。這個舞台風格化鏡頭的安排明顯帶有宣示的意味。直到本片的完成，米耶維勒才真正從高達這位導師與伴侶的庇護下走出，綻放個人耀眼的光采。本片確立她獨特原創的作者風格，著重在她特別擅長的演員調度、整合文字和音樂段落，以嚴肅的哲學、藝術式的提問重新安排敘事形式。這些電影有如米耶維勒的影像書寫，人類經驗的複雜面貌，透過細膩的攝影鏡頭與導演敏銳的感性，向觀者反射出無比動人的光采。

A daring deconstruction of consumerist behavior featuring a robot and Miss Clio Darty, with a voiceover by Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, this philosophical "report," like so many of Godard's commissions, was rejected by its funders.

The title and subtitle of this French miniseries are "Six Times Two; Over and under the media". The "six" refers to the fact that there are six episodes; the "two" has a double meaning. Each of these episodes is a collaboration between two people: Jean-Luc Godard and his long-time partner Anne-Marie Miéville, but the "two" also refers to the fact that each episode has a two-part structure. The individual episodes run 100 minutes each, split almost precisely into two 50-minute sections. Each episode deals with a specific theme -- history, women, labour -- with the first half being an overview of that topic, and the second half being a documentary interview with one person who somehow represents that very broad topic! This is a thoroughly Gallic documentary series, with everything that the term implies; despite my passion for Godard's films, I found 'Six Times Two' to be extremely talkative and static. Reportedly, Godard himself did not have a high opinion of this miniseries.

Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Mieville talk about their films, while doing everyday tasks around their house.

本片讲述一个男人和一个女人共同拍摄一部录像电影的故事。 大师戈达尔延续了其以往拍片，怪异的叙事，注重旁白和道具，抽象的风格。虽然没有曲折离奇的故事情节，但戈达尔用特定的道具，特定的场景将其含义充分的表达出来，虽然没有大量的出场人物，但对白精彩，具有深刻的哲理性。有人说戈达尔的电影就是艰难晦涩，自命不凡的同义词，也有人说戈达尔本身就是艺术，看完这部电影，请您也给出您的答案吧。

这部短片的片名“自由与故乡”原本是瑞士西南沃州省的官方口号，沃州邻近法国，其首府洛桑是高达和米耶维勒生长和定居的家乡。两位导演受到瑞士文化节的委托拍摄影片，改编一部著名的瑞士传记小说“艾梅帕什，画家从沃州”（查尔斯费迪南德雷默兹，1911），将主角人物画家艾梅帕什前往巴黎学画后返乡的故事，与高达自己的作品与人生经历做类比。片中节选高达之前的影片段落，与画家的生平事件，当代文化指涉，以及高达对60年代和电影的自我嘲讽相互交叠，加上对画家和两位导演都深具影响的瑞士美丽土地的影像，创造出宛如“镜中镜”相互映照的奇特效果。伟大的艺术源自丰富的人生阅历，三位艺术家们彼此的生命记忆交错浮现，化成现实与寓言的精密结晶，创造出丰沛的感染力，短短20分钟的观影经验竟让人如同读完一部精彩无比的长篇小说

At a lakeside hotel, Michel Piccoli discusses the centennial of cinema with Jean-Luc Godard. Godard asks why should cinema's birthday be celebrated when the history of film is a forgotten subject. Through the remainder of his hotel stay, Piccoli tests Godard's hypothesis.
