The Image Book
In this wildly inventive arrangement of film footage, music clips, text and more, Jean-Luc Godard dares us to think and feel as much as we can. The movie’s key themes include history and ideology, and their treatment in media, but the subsidiary meanings are probably infinite—that’s the director’s challenge to us, and his gift. Godard is an artist exploding with things to express, so take what you can from the horror and the beauty, the passion and the sadness; some of it you may never let go of.
