86 PRINTEMPS, JEAN-LUC GODARD (2017)

In January 2017, Jean-Baptiste Thoret and Nicole Brenez travelled to Rolle to meet Jean-Luc Godard, then 86 years old, at his home. This long, open conversation later became the basis for 86 printemps, Jean-Luc Godard, a film that, for years, could not be released due to rights issues. On 3 January, Thoret released the film for free on YouTube, for an unspecified period of time. “Une manière comme une autre de commencer l’année” [one way or another to begin the year], he wrote on Facebook.
