Another Side of JLG — 1PM: One American Movie (Japanese B5 Poster)

Jean-Luc Godard meets America — a fractured dialogue in print

If Godard’s cinema was a form of radical looking, then 1PM (One American Movie) was a rare moment when that gaze turned westward. Originally a collaborative project with D.A. Pennebaker, 1PM was never quite finished—yet it remains one of the most provocative fragments in Godard’s American detour. A collision of politics, performance, and documentary instinct, it is less a film than a filmed refusal.

This B5-sized poster was released in Japan during a retrospective screening, and its striking design—a torn flag, bold red and blue overlays, and Godard’s unblinking portrait—captures the spirit of the film itself: restless, unfinished, and searching. It reflects not just a cinematic project, but an era’s conflicted fascination with revolution and representation.

Compact yet resonant, this is a piece for those who see cinema as inquiry, not certainty.
