Presenting Problems
Howl
The beat generation has not fared well at the movies. The short film Pull My Daisy, directed by the photographer Robert Frank and the painter Alfred Leslie in 1959, has become the consensus choice for beat motion picture par excellence, featuring horseplay by such luminaries as Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky accompanied by Jack Kerouac's semi-improvised narration. A handful of other avant-garde productions aside, the beat filmography manifests…

Schizoanalyzing Souls
In an article on montage written for Cahiers du cinéma, Jean-Luc Godard made an observation that has been quoted many times in many contexts:If direction is a look, montage is a heartbeat...what one seeks to foresee in space, the other seeks in time....Cutting on a look is...to bring out the soul under the spirit, the passion behind the intrigue, to make the heart prevail over the intelligence by destroying the notion of space in favor of that of…

The Films of Jean-Luc Godard
The Films of Jean-Luc Godard examines the work of one of the most versatile and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. With a career ranging from France's New Wave movement in the early 1960s to a period of political experimentation in the late 1960s and 70s, and, currently, a contemplative period in which Godard has explored issues of spirituality, sexuality, and the aesthetics of sound, image, and montage, the filmmaker's work defies …
Mad to Be Saved
Film critic David Sterritt presents an interdisciplinary exploration of the Beat Generation, its intersections with mainstream and experimental film, and the interactions of all of these with American society and the culture of the 1950s. Sterritt balances the Beat countercultural goal of rebellion through both artistic creation and everyday behaviour against the mainstream values of conformity and conservatism, growing worry over cold-war hostil…
