Belief in Cinema
This paper takes issue with the idea recently promulgated by film-philosophers that the relationship between philosophy and film is untroubled by the encounter between reason and art. To do this I consider how in Je vous salue, Marie Jean-Luc Godard uses allegory, cinematic automatism
and montage not to provide rational arguments but to raise questions about the legacy of the Christian aesthetics for contemporary cinema.
