Photograph is signed and numbered by the artist.
In 1960, after A bout de souffle (Breathless) was released to great acclaim, the film's producer Georges de Beauregard produced the first feature by Godard's friend Jacques Rozier, Adieu Philippine (Goodbye Philippine).
The film revolves around the character of Michel, a young technician in the fledgling TV industry who is due for military service in two months at the time of the Algerian War. Juliette and Liliane are inseparable best friends, and aspiring actresses, who hang around outside the TV studio. Michel invites them in to watch, flirts with them both, and dates them separately and together. When Michel goes on a holiday to Corsica, just before he is drafted, the girls follow.
Filmed on location in Corsica, here Cauchetier captures some of the unconventional filming practice behind-the-scenes at Adieu Philippine (Goodbye Philippine), featuring cameraman Jean Boffety resting his camera on the head of 1st assistant director Francis Cognani, as Jacques Rozier directs to the right.
