Each print was produced under the supervision of Raymond Cauchetier and is of a quality suitable for collectors. Printer: Thomas Consani, then at the Central Dupon Image laboratory (now a printer at the Picto laboratory). Friday 11 September 1959, 1.00 pm. Amidst the passers-by, Godard is filming the scene of Jean-Paul Belmondo’s death, as seen by Jean Seberg, on Rue Campagne Première. Belmondo is absent. Yet this peaceful scene represents the film’s most dramatic moment. Jean Seberg is supposed to be looking at Jean-Paul Belmondo, dying at her feet. Jean-Paul Belmondo is elsewhere, but his presence is symbolised by a clapperboard casually placed at Jean-Luc Godard’s feet. The cameraman, comfortably seated on a chair lent by the owner of the neighbouring café. “What’s that supposed to mean, you filthy bastard?” Source: Kaoru and Raymond Cauchetier Collection Bibliography: DE BAECQUE, Antoine. *La Nouvelle Vague: portrait d’une jeunesse*.
