New Wave Young Godard
Maybe it’s because I just watched Breathless that this story by Mike Young seems like it should be starring Godard.
Mike Young recently accepted something I submitted to NOO Journal. In his email he said something I’m quoting because I think it’s hilarious and observant and is how I would like to describe his linked story:
There is something about the kind of funny that’s being written right now. It’s very careful, but if someone were to come up to it and say “I want to throw you away,” this kind of funny would agree. I like that quality. Pre-apocolypse Kenneth Koch or something.
You are smart. I was watching a lot of Godard around the time I wrote that. Masculin, féminin and Pierrot le fou specifically. I felt immature watching them, but good.
Thank you for linking to my story. =)
I haven’t seen a lot of Godard. I intend to watch more, to feel really immature, and then watch a bunch of Dogma 95 movies or something.
