Allemagne Annee 90 Neuf Zero [HD Remastered Edition]

[Machine Translation] Winner of the Gold Medal of the President of the Italian Senate at the 48th Venice International Film Festival! The most important film in Godard's oeuvre, long difficult to watch, is now available in its original digitally remastered version! The film depicts the journey of a spy hiding in East Berlin and his return to the West, drawing on philosophy, literature, music, and film. The spy Remy is played by Eddie Constantine, who also played the detective of the same name in Godard's "Alphaville" in 1965. The title was taken from the Italian director Roberto Rossellini's "Germany Year Zero" ('48). While Rossellini's "Germany Year Zero" was set in 1945, the year of the fall of Nazi Germany, Godard's "New Year Zero" is set in 1990, the year of the unification of East and West Germany (in the original title, "90" of "1990," "9" and "neuf," meaning "new," are added). Godard's requiem, in which various fragments of images wander around, exposing the loneliness of history. --The film takes place in Germany in 1990, the year before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Remy Cauchon, an intelligence agent who has been hiding in East Berlin for 30 years as a spy for the West German side, is visited by Count Zelten of the military intelligence service. When he is told that "everything is over," Remy follows his advice and sets off on a journey that will take him far around East Germany, with the aim of returning to the West. He meets Charlotte, a girl who reminds him of a character from a novel by Thomas Mann, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and many other people on his way back to the West...
