Abstract
In his 1985 film Je vous salue, Marie (Hail Mary), Jean-Luc Godard integrated preexisting music by J. S. Bach. The choice is a surprise, as Godard hardly ever used the music of the German baroque master in his sixty-year film career. Since this use of Bach marks a singular instance in Godard's oeuvre, the objective of this essay is to explore the process of Godard's cinematic reappropriation of Bach's music and how the music infuses the filmic narrative with a Lutheran message.
