"Perhaps we haven't known for some time what it means to speak in the first person singular in film. These pages torn from an exaggeratedly personal notebook plunge us into a deep anxiety. It's less (the) coinciding of the story with Garrel's own life, this illusory fidelity to the idea of recreating, that grips us than this proximity of being, this opening of the flesh itself, of the emotion. J'entend plus la guitare is born from the heart of the gulf between the sexes. In J'entends plus la guitare, man and woman are not separated ontologically, but more prosaically, by the force of age, things, the passage of time. And yet there is at the center of the film an attempt at heroic fusion between two beings. Nudity of a relationship which now only relates to itself, which will fulfill itself and end, simultaneously, in and by drugs." -Thierry Jousse (condensed) Cahiers du Cinéma
