Editing Jean-Luc Godard (section)

== Late period films (2001–2022) ==
In 2001, ''[[In Praise of Love (film)|Éloge de l'amour]]'' (''In Praise of Love'') was released. The film is notable for its use of both film and video—the first half captured in 35&nbsp;mm black and white, the latter half shot in color on [[Digital video|DV]]—and subsequently transferred to film for editing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmlinc.org/films/in-praise-of-love/|title=In Praise of Love|access-date=16 September 2022|publisher=Filmlinc.org|archive-date=20 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920170924/https://www.filmlinc.org/films/in-praise-of-love/|url-status=live}}</ref> The film is also noted for containing themes of ageing, love, separation, and rediscovery as it follows the young artist Edgar in his contemplation of a new work on the four stages of love.<ref>{{Cite web |title=In Praise of Love |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0181912/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=Box Office Mojo |archive-date=14 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914004315/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0181912/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In ''[[Notre musique]]'' (2004), Godard turned his focus to war, specifically, the [[Siege of Sarajevo|war in Sarajevo]], but with attention to all war, including the [[American Civil War]], the war between the [[American Indian Wars|U.S. and Native Americans]], and the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]].<ref name=notre/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unifrance.org/film/24133/notre-musique|title=Notre Musique de Jean-Luc Goddard|publisher=Unifrance.org|language=French|access-date=16 September 2022|archive-date=20 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920163419/https://www.unifrance.org/film/24133/notre-musique|url-status=live}}</ref> The film is structured into three [[Dante Alighieri|Dantean]] kingdoms: [[Divine Comedy|Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise]].<ref name=notre/> Godard's fascination with paradox is constant in the film. It opens with a long, ponderous montage of war images that occasionally lapses into the comic; Paradise is shown as a lush wooded beach patrolled by [[U.S. Marines]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Notre musique |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0360845/ |access-date=14 September 2022 |website=Box Office Mojo |archive-date=14 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914004322/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0360845/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=notre/>

In 2020, Godard told ''[[Les Inrockuptibles]]'' that his new film would be about a [[Yellow vests protests|Yellow vest protestor]], and indicated that along with archival footage "there will also be a shoot. I don't know if I will find what are called actors...I would like to film the people we see on news channels but by plunging them into a situation where documentary and fiction come together."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.lesinrocks.com/cinema/jean-luc-godard-linterview-exclusive-de-2019-173465-17-07-2020/ |last1=Deruisseau |first1=Bruno |last2=Lalanne |first2=Jean-Marc |title=On a parlé des Gilets jaunes, de collapsologie et de psychanalyse avec Jean-Luc Godard |work=Les Inrockuptibles |date=17 July 2020 |access-date=24 September 2022 |archive-date=24 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220924082014/https://www.lesinrocks.com/cinema/jean-luc-godard-linterview-exclusive-de-2019-173465-17-07-2020/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In March 2021 he said that he was working on two new films during a [[Videotelephony|virtual interview]] at the [[International Film Festival of Kerala]].

In July 2021, cinematographer and long time collaborator [[Fabrice Aragno]] said that work on the films was going slowly and Godard was more focused on "books, on the ideas of the film, and less in the making." Godard suggested making a film like [[Chris Marker]]'s ''[[La Jetée]]'' to "come back to his origin." Much of the film would be shot on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm film, but the expense of [[Film stock|celluloid film stock]] and the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] stalled production. Aragno expected to shoot test footage that fall. He added that the second film was for the [[Arte]] channel in France.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://variety.com/2021/film/global/jean-luc-godard-final-film-fabrice-aragno-debut-1235014630/ |last=Thorne |first=Will |title=Frequent Jean-Luc Godard Collaborator Fabrice Aragno on His Feature Debut and Making Godard's 'Final Gesture' |work=Variety |date=9 July 2021 |access-date=24 September 2022 |archive-date=24 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220924082014/https://variety.com/2021/film/global/jean-luc-godard-final-film-fabrice-aragno-debut-1235014630/amp/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The first of the two films, a 20-minute short titled ''[[Trailer of the Film That Will Never Exist: "Phony Wars"]]'', premiered at the [[2023 Cannes Film Festival]], in collaboration with [[Yves Saint Laurent (brand)|St. Laurent]].

Aragno said that he did not think that either film would be Godard's last film, adding "I say this often that ''[[In Praise of Love (film)|Éloge de l'amour]]'' was the beginning of his last gesture. These five, or six or seven films are connected to each other in a way, they're not just full stops. It's not just one painting."<ref name=thorne/>
