    Two more art school videos, just for fun. Neo-Nouvelle Vague? Maybe not in style, but they are new, and vague, and they sure took their lessons from Jean-Luc Godard:

    Autoroute - Pixar meets David Lynch. (The full text is Bonsoir! Un café s'il vous plaît. Serré - Good evening. One coffee please. Strong. ('espresso'))
    'All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl' - Jean-Luc Godard.

    Psyche. Pretty.
    Godard: 'To be or not to be. That's not really a question'

    What do all three movies mean? Beats me. Or is that asking the wrong question about them? Are these movies neo-existentialist, a continuation of Camus? Then we need not seek clarity and meaning when there are neither.
    Godard taught film the cinematic consequence of Camusian existentialism: 'To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body. Both go together, they can't be separated'

    It is a distinct pleasure to have you back.

    The power of French cinema is incomprehensible to my American brain. I bow to Gallic superiority.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I don't understand it either. In fact, I haven't got a clue what it's all about.

    That's why I knew it would look way cool and impressive to all of you guys. People are always more impressed by what they don't than by what they do understand.

    Which, in a rare case of honesty, reveals to you one of the main tricks of the trade of Gallic flash intellectualism. Heck, one can build a career out of it.
