Description

LIMITED ENGAGEMENT with select showtimes!!!

"A dense visual and aural collage that I've seen twice and expect to see several times more."
- Manohla Dargis, the New York Times

"Momentous." - Owen Gleiberman, Variety

"Could not be more of the moment. As ephemeral as a dream...framed with an injunction to keep hope alive." - Amy Taubin, Artforum

WINNER: Cannes Film Festival - Special Palme d'Or
OFFICIAL SELECTION: Toronto International Film Festival, New York Film Festival

The legendary Jean-Luc Godard adds to his influential, iconoclastic legacy with this provocative collage film essay, a vast ontological inquiry into the history of the moving image and a commentary on the contemporary world. Winner of the first Special Palme d'Or to be awarded in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, The Image Book is another extraordinary addition to the French master's vast filmography.

Displaying an encyclopedic grasp of cinema and its history, Godard pieces together fragments and clips them from some of his greatest first films of the past, then digitally alters, bleaches, and washes them, all in the service of reflecting on what he sees in front of him and what he makes of the dissonance that surrounds him. He uses his own voice, reminiscent of those of Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan in the twilights of their careers, to guide us through the fascinating labyrinth of his mind.
