DIRECTED BY - Jean-Luc Godard
IN MY OPINION - 2/10
first and foremost let me start by saying way to update us on the fact that this film has ZERO English subtitles so I had no idea what was going on, and on that note it might not have helped any.
Second. I gave this a 2 instead of a 1 or a 0 because it's Godard and I'm sure I'm missing something amazing and don't want to completely rip apart a master filmmaker.
Tha said. What the hell was that all about? It's partially what I expected, but then some. To be honest, it felt like some first year film school student had decided to make a film thesis where he imitates Godard while making a travel film.
At times the audio is bad it should just be removed, the video is all over the place, much to a Godard films benefit, but again without context it made no point.
There is a moment in middle of the film where a gas station attendand swats at the window to his shop where a news camerawoman and reporter are jumping up and down trying to see what's going on. This moment made sense to me, which I that Godard was sick and tired of fly on the wall camera work and wanted to shoo it from the rest of the movie. And for a good whole it is gone. Only to return and succeed in confusing me mote and more.
My first film TIFF09 was "Antichrist" and it set images in my head that lasted with me the whole festival. Film Socialisim has accomplished a similar accheivment, where this screening hall stay with me the whole fest, bad as it was.
