About this item

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION After a decade in the wilds of avant-garde and early video experimentation, Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless) returned to commercial cinema with this work of social commentary, star-driven and narrative while remaining defiantly intellectual and visually cutting-edge. Every Man for Himself, featuring a script by Jean-Claude Carrière (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and Anne-Marie Miéville (Ici et ailleurs) , looks at the sexual and professional lives of three people - a television producer (Van Goghs Jacques Dutronc) , his ex-girlfriend (The Return of Martin Guerres Nathalie Baye) , and a prostitute (White Materials Isabelle Huppert) - to create a meditative story about work, relationships, and the notion of freedom. Made twenty years into his career, the film was, according to Godard, a second debut. SET CONTAINS: TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES * New high-definition digital restoration * Le scenario(1979) , a short video created by director Jean-Luc Godard to secure financing for Every Man for Himself * New video essay by critic Colin MacCabe * New interviews with actor Isabelle Huppert and producer Marin Karmitz * Archival interviews with actor Nathalie Baye, cinematographers Renato Berta and William Lubtchansky, and composer Gabriel Yared * Two back-to-back 1980 appearances by Godard on The Dick Cavett Show * Godard 1980, a short film by Jon Jost, Donald Ranvaud, and Peter Wollen, featuring Godard * Trailer * PLUS: An essay by critic Amy Taubin
