it's good to see so many people have seen le weekend. he's making a new film at the moment in which alain badiou will give a lecture in an empty cruise ship apparently. this gives hope that he has revised his previous opinion that cinema can no longer improve humanity. i've always been curious as to why he said that. was it an attempt to rid himself of artistic obsessions because of at the time he felt direct political action was what was needed and art was too much of an indulgence or was it just a reactionary cynical comment? i haven't read enough about it but i do know that at one point he gave up film all together to concentrate on politics.
