Histoire(s) du cinema and other works LE Blu-ray Set presents Jean-Luc Godard’s monumental late-period video work alongside a major collection of related films, essays and final works, gathering one of cinema’s most radical and searching bodies of work into a definitive limited edition set.

Created over a decade, Histoire(s) du cinéma stands as both a celebration of cinema’s artistic achievements and a fierce interrogation of its failures, weaving film clips, newsreel footage, painting, music and Godard’s own voice into a layered audiovisual collage unlike anything else in film history. At once personal, political and philosophical, it remains among the most ambitious works ever made about the moving image itself.

This limited edition set expands far beyond Histoire(s), bringing together key films from Godard’s late career, including Scénarios in its Blu-ray premiere, alongside substantial new and archival contextual material. Both retrospective and living document, the collection captures a filmmaker continually rethinking cinema to the very end.
