    Description

    25 March 2015, 20:45, ICA Cinema

    Film: The Thoughts That Once We Had, Thom Andersen, USA, 2015, DCP, 108 minutes, English

    Inspired by the writing of Gilles Deleuze on cinema, Thom Andersen’s new film, The Thoughts That Once We Had, is a richly layered journey through cinematic history, masterfully edited as it moves across decades and genres, and suffused at every turn by the filmmaker’s lifelong passion for the movies. “This meticulous product of years of reading and lecturing about Deleuze’s Cinéma… Thom Andersen jumps from close-ups of manual labour shown by Dovzhenko, to a montage of Marlene Dietrich’s face in a succession of films by von Sternberg – from the uncut scene of Mike Hammer asking Christina to read him Christina Rossetti’s poem twice, to breathtakingly beautiful shots of the sky and the sea excerpted from Godard…” (Bérénice Reynaud)

    This screening was followed by a discussion between Thom Andersen and Michael Witt, author of Jean-Luc Godard: Cinema Historian, Indiana University Press, 2014.
