Après le Réconciliation
2000, NR, 74 min.
Directed by Anne-Marie Miéville, Narrated by , Voices by , Starring Claude Perron, Anne-Marie Miéville, Jacques Spiesser, Jean-Luc Godard, Xavier Marchand.

Miéville turns the camera on Godard and herself and two others in this narrative movie about language and communication. Presenting postures rather than psychological drama, Miéville has these characters share conversations marked both by ideas and boredom. Plus, it’s a delight to see Godard in an acting role.
