Wollen, Peter. “G and Counter Cinema: Vent D’Est,” re diagesis

“The text becomes a composite structure […] using different codes and semantic systems. Moreover, these are not simply different, but also often contradictory…The semantic component of a language is composite and contradictory, permitting understand on one level, misunderstanding on another. Godard systematically explores the areas of misunderstanding.” – Wollen, p.503
