I CAN'T BELIVE NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS !

I managed to obtain this from a seller on Ebay (quite expensive).

The picture quality was very, very poor (B- or lower) but from a distance it was watchable. I don't know why I'm complaining - this is extremely rare ! Anyway, this short was a different approach on interviews. I mainly watched it, thinking that Woody Allen was interviewing Godard (the title states the opposite, but I was wishful thinking) but when you watch and observe Godard's curiosity into Woddy's style & structure of film-making, it becomes very profound and interesting.

Godard just sitting there puffing away at his cigar letting his questions just roll off his tongue.

Woody on the other side, sometimes seems nervous - as if there might be an intellectual clash.

It could have been longer but try and obtain a copy if you get the chance

Thanks for mentioning this. I immediately ordered the catalogue!

I Think he profoundly loves Allens work. The questions he asks go beyond the typical movie interview blather into the realm of existential questioning. Only someone who really loved the work would care.
I just dl it from demonoid, and I must say I wonder if IMBD has it wrong, I didn't see anything in the credits about Woody being the writer? Any one have an answer???

I thought it was more of an attempt by Godard to better understand how Woody Allen makes his films. The opening scene is almost like Godard's interpretation of the opening scene of Manhattan. Almost as if he's saying "this is my Woody Allen film, or at least, my best attempt at one."

I think part of the problem with the film, and why it probably doesn't work the way Godard intended it, is the language barrier. Godard speaks in riddles and Allen, most of the time, seems completely confused by it. It also seems like Godard isn't really getting the answers that he wanted, with his attempts to contextualise Allen's filmmaking style being met with Woody's characteristic self-deprecation.
