C

repertoire, repertory (nn.) 
 
These are synonyms in that one meaning of repertory is repertoire, "the full list of plays, compositions, skills, abilities, or other matters that can be called on," as in He tried every trick in his repertoire [repertory] in order to make the audience laugh. 

A repertory is also "a repository (貯藏庫), a place where things may be stored," but its most frequently used senses are those involving the theater: 

1. "a company that does several plays in sequence or alternately during season," 
2. "a theater housing such a company," and 
3. "the list of plays that that group is performing,” 

as in She joined a repertory [company] whose repertory that season consisted of two Shakespeare comedies, a Shaw comedy, and Wilde’s Earnest. 


　
When Godard was hot, in the 1960s and early 1970s, there was an audience for this style, but in those days, there were still film societies and repertory [theaters] to build and nourish such audiences. 

Many of today's younger filmgoers, fed only by the narrow selections at video stores, are not as curious or knowledgeable and may simply be puzzled by "Chungking Express'' instead of challenged. 

It needs to be said, in any event, that a film like this is largely a cerebral experience: You enjoy it because of what you know about film, not because of what it knows about life.
