"As a reminder for the younger generations, in 1983 there were only 3 television channels in France. Special effects production with graphic palette was at its beginning in editing rooms. Canal+ was born in 1984, the 5th and 6th channels in 1986. Marshall MacLuhan and Paul Virilio provided input for my reflections regarding the impact of technologies on our five senses and our spatio-temporal perception"

After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Jean-Luc Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, and creates a treatment with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless, one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.

Revolutionary French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard conducts a twenty-five minute interview with influential and acclaimed American director Woody Allen on the cultural radiation, the ubiquity and significance of Television, and how Television compares with cinema as a medium and form of expression.
