I'm guessing you're currently "watching" the filmography of the director of American Pie on the Criterion Channel

Those are are indeed some sweet ass shots ^
I recently picked a random Godard flick I hadn't seen yet (Le Gai Savoir) from our library--the first one in a long while of his--and it sucked so bad, but I ended up dreaming in whispered French that night lol (I don't speak French)

The opening shot from Roma is one I feel like I'll remember forever because of it's simplicity and effectiveness - also it's one that works much better with the image moving, not just one frame from it, but here is a still: (The movie's teaser trailer shows most of the shot, which you can see here)

les images, c'est la vie, et les textes, c'est la mort

is that why godard has always so much text captions written all over his films? life and death? i thought it was more of a magritte's pipe thing, but i'm not even sure what i mean by that lol

well, i think he came to the technique long before he really theorized about it. it's the only part of his style that's consistent across all the periods. but in histoire(s) a big point is how cinema can, idealistically, be used as a historical record independent of the historian, as it can't help but be a real image (life) instead of an invented text (death). so there usually seems to be some sort of commentary in his intertitles/captions about the truthfulness of an image, or a word, or how they cancel each other out...
