Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company (Grandeur et décadence d'un petit commerce de cinéma) 38 years old

Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company

An absurdly brutal and minimalist examination of the desperate search for financial backing by two small-time filmmakers, 'Rise and Fall' is knowingly self-referential, sad, and appropriately enough, a film shot on a miniscule budget in 16mm. Based on a novel by James Hadley Chase, with script by Jean-Luc Godard.
