AMNESIASCOPE

The Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research is proud to present AMNESIASCOPE, a series of rare and remarkable films curated by Nick Newman. Our next screening is a Jean-Luc Godard masterwork in which his ‘80s oeuvre—leagues wilder, more aggressive, and more outlandish than the exhausted 1960s canon—reached its apotheosis. Starring the iconic Jean-Pierre Léaud as a director at wits’ end, this perpetually underseen film (playing in New York for the first time since 2017) shows Godard at his most formally assured and altogether playful, bolstered by needle drops from Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Janis Joplin.
