Summary
Jacques Ranciere: Film fable
Jacques Ranciere analyzes the various forms of conflict between two different poetics that forms the core of the film itself. Between Jean Epstein's dream and Jean-Luc Godard's encyclopedia free of all illusions, between goodbye theater and good morning television, Ranciere proves that the film plot is, in fact, always an unattainable, frustrated plot.
With its unattainability, it erases the boundaries between document and fiction. Like a 19th century artist's dream, the plot tells the story of the 20th century.
