Summary/Abstract: An attempt of understanding and read Fox and His Friends using as a guide the shot/ reverse shot technique and the philosophy behind it, as presented by Jean-Luc Godard in Notre musique. My endeavor of overlapping the logic of the movie with the logic of the shot/ reverse shot philosophy directed me and my interpretation towards assaying an ethic of the filmmaker and of his product as a result of using the shot/ reverse shot vision.
