image and language

Godard systematically deconstructs the relationship between image and language, using text overlays, voiceovers, and self-reflexive commentary to question how cinema communicates meaning.

Varda explores how images carry memory and narrative while interrogating the limits of visual storytelling through poetic voice-over and documentary techniques that blur fact and interpretation.

Pasolini developed the theory of 'cinema of poetry' where images operate as a language of their own, creating meaning through visual signs and symbols that sometimes contradict or transcend verbal narrative.
