I thought about doing a Godard cinema study.

He's an "outsider". Still. All these years later.

He does a lot of voiceovers in his own films (along with his partner in crime Anne-Marie Mieville) and he shows up in cameos as well. (In Prenom: Carmen he's got some more screen time as "Uncle Jean"- love that film).
Jean-Pierre Leaud shows up in a lot of JLG's work.

Did you know Detective was dedicated to directors Cassavetes, Ulmer and Eastwood?

I'm still waiting to see his Histoires du Cinema- all 8 parts.
