Liberty and Homeland (2002): Cast

Jean‑Luc Godard and Anne‑Marie Miéville created a twenty‑minute video titled “Freedom and Fatherland,” echoing the slogan of Switzerland’s Canton of Vaud, where they grew up. Commissioned for a Swiss cultural festival, they adapted Charles Ferdinand Ramuz’s 1911 novel about Aimé Pache, a Vaud‑born painter who studies in Paris and returns home. The film intercuts clips from Godard’s own cinema, references to Sartre, the late‑1960s, and contemporary life, while using Swiss landscapes that shaped both the painter and the filmmakers, creating a layered series of mirrors reflecting art, autobiography, and place.
