Editing Jean-Luc Godard (section)

=== Vietnam War ===
Godard produced several pieces that directly address the [[Vietnam War]]. Furthermore, there are two scenes in ''[[Pierrot le fou]]'' that tackle the issue. The first is a scene that takes place in the initial car ride between Ferdinand (Belmondo) and Marianne (Karina). Over the car radio, the two hear the message "garrison massacred by the [[Viet Cong]] who lost 115 men". Marianne responds with an extended musing on the way the radio dehumanises the Northern Vietnamese combatants.<ref>{{Cite AV media |title=Pierrot Le Fou |year=1965 |last=Godard |first=Jean-Luc |type=Motion picture |language=fr}}</ref> The war is present throughout the film in mentions, allusions, and depictions in [[newsreel]] footage, and the film's style was affected by Godard's political anger at the war, upsetting his ability to draw from earlier cinematic styles.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/525-pierrot-le-fou-self-portrait-in-a-shattered-lens |title= ''Pierrot le fou'': Self-Portrait in a Shattered Lens |last= Brody |first= Richard |date= 22 September 2009 |access-date= 15 September 2022 |publisher= [[Criterion Collection]] |archive-date= 7 October 2022 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20221007055238/https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/525-pierrot-le-fou-self-portrait-in-a-shattered-lens |url-status= live }}</ref>

Notably, he also participated in ''[[Loin du Vietnam]]'' (1967). An anti-war project, it consists of seven sketches directed by Godard (who used [[stock footage]] from ''La Chinoise''), [[Claude Lelouch]], [[Joris Ivens]], [[William Klein (photographer)|William Klein]], [[Chris Marker]], [[Alain Resnais]], and [[Agnès Varda]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Far from Vietnam |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0061913/ |access-date=13 September 2022 |website=Box Office Mojo |archive-date=14 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914004327/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0061913/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unifrance.org/film/4152/loin-du-vietnam|title=Loin du Vietnam|access-date=16 September 2022|publisher=Unifrance.org|archive-date=20 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920163459/https://www.unifrance.org/film/4152/loin-du-vietnam|url-status=live}}</ref>
