FILM SOCIALISME

Director Jean-Luc Godard / 2010 / Switzerland/France

<p><b>“We've entered into an era with the digital wherein, for different reasons, humanity will be confronted by problems which will not have the luxury of being expressed.”</b></p> <p>Touted as possibly his last film, <i>Film Socialisme</i> sees iconoclastic filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard continue his late-period excavation of contemporary history, politics and media, through his inimitable and urgent style of cinema.</p> <p>In the year of the 50th anniversary of his innovative masterpiece <i>Breathless</i>, Godard presents what he describes as a “symphony in three movements”. History, war and race all entwine into a film experiment of image, sound and narrative where even the subtitles refuse to give too much away. Mixed montages of style and story spring from the decks of a Mediterranean cruise ship and those aboard it, a country gas station in the throes of regime change and a visit to the Odessa Steps.</p>
