They don't mention Allen in the credits, or Norman Mailer, either.

This is basically Godard directing The Eric Andre Show and I love it. The Golan/Globus phone calls are amazing

really wish that could be included. I'm very thankful Ringwald is, one thing I wish Criterion tried a little more on is getting actors to recall their work. Delpy is usually always hilarious (love her stories about Kieslowski) so I'm a little disappointed she isn't here

I've mentioned before and elsewhere I'm kinda a Godard agnostic, and there's really no rhyme or reason for which of his movies I like and which ones I don't, so I'll have to give this one a shot. nonetheless, I'm glad Criterion rescued it, and this is the kind of title they should be going after more often (and have over the last year). hopefully that Brody piece is expansive, as I always appreciate scholarly analysis when it comes to Godard, and one is sure Adrian Martin would've liked to talk about this too

I'm not seeing a credit for Allen on the page. (Unless you mean interesting that he ISN'T credited.)
Oh yes, meant to type isn’t. Wrote that while not looking during a five hour long class on being an essayist.

I'm curious--would someone mind describing Woody's performance in this flick? Take lots of detail, if necessary!!! [-o<

He sits in an editing bay for several minutes and appears completely bewildered/frightened while answering questions from an off-screen Godard

Who says the Brat Pack can't do Shakespeare? I still think Top Gun would have been enhanced with a Hamlet soliloquy or two.
