Jean-Luc Godard's trailers and title sequences

Godard's films have been been one of the major influences of my own work for a long time. Not so much in content but more in technique and style (though not as much now). I'm not sure the proper film language to describe it (its not montage), but there is definitely a collage like way he puts together his films. Text, images, and sounds intercut into the dietetic world of the film and yet it all works together. The title sequences and trailers are basically condensed versions of the films, accurately reflect the crazy energy, flow, and rhythm of the narrative.
