Grammatikopoulou, Christina, ‘Canvas in a (film) frame: The role of painting in Jim Jarmusch’s Limits of Control and Jean Luc Godard’s Pierrot le Fou’, Interartive v.16, Dec. 2009 <https://interartive.org/2009/12/godard-jarmusch>
This text analyzes the influence of painting on cinema. The analysis begins with historical examples, and focuses on two films: Jarmusch’s The Limits of Control and Godard’s Pierrot Le Fou, two films that resemble animated paintings: successive frames captured as works of art, full of paintings, poetic discourse, and Arthur Rimbaud’s words in the background.
