Shiny prints offer new look at Godard classics
Serious film buffs need no introduction to the great works of French director Jean-Luc Godard. Two of those works -- 1962's "Vivre sa vie" and "Contempt," from 1963 -- screen at UWM's Union Theatre, Friday-Sunday, Sept. 26-28. But since they will be shown in sparkling new 35mm prints, they're worth rediscovering even if you think you've already seen them.
