Plenty of actors have played Abraham Lincoln well, but the actor still most associated with the role is Raymond Massey, who starred in Robert E. Sherwood’s Pulitzer Prizewinning play. The film version was not a hit, as Sherwood’s aim is to capture the melancholy, even the foreboding, of a man who was a natural for politics. In this reading Lincoln tries to resist his ‘call to greatness’ knowing he’s letting himself in for an unhappy life. The Warner Archive’s restoration retrieves the film from old 16mm prints, restoring James Wong Howe’s handsome cinematography.

Back in May 2010, when Film socialisme premiered in Cannes, Jean-Luc Godard mentioned that his next film would be Adieu au Langage (Farewell to Language) and, in November, he told Die SonntagsZeitung: "It's about a man and his wife who no longer speak the same language. The dog they take on walks then intervenes and speaks. How I'll do it, I don't yet know. The rest is simple." That translation's by Richard Brody, who has a bit more from the interview. Now Jlg is talking about the film (among other things, presumably) all week long with Laure Adler on Hors-Champs on France Culture. Craig Keller, naturally, has details and a link to the program.
