A dazzling array of Godardian might-have-beens from the most meticulous and thoughtful of Godard scholars. * Jonathan Rosenbaum, Film Critic, jonathanrosenbaum.net, USA * Michael Witt has set a high bar for what it means to analyse a film directors body of work, and to locate its hetroclite traces in order to do so. He has accomplished the Herculean task of covering ALL of Godards work of this kind, giving it order, showing us its logic, understanding the zigzag ways of Godards thinking through ideas, sometimes, for decades. This is a book to come back to, and to treasure as an absolutely reliable resource. * Janet Bergstrom, Professor of Cinema and Media Studies, UCLA, USA * An astounding scholarly achievement. The depth and rigour of Witts primary research is breathtaking. Once again, Witt completely reconfigures the Godardian corpus, while making a significant contribution to media archaeology and to the study of orphaned, lost or forgotten cultural objects. * Michael Temple, Emeritus Professor, Birkbeck College, London, UK *
