Goodbye To Language

Ah, Godard. A titan of cinema now in a career phase where even his staunchest supporters, throwing around words like “challenging”, often mean “abjectly difficult”.

An experience that’s as unpleasant as it is really quite humorous, Goodbye To Language is both an absurdist send-up of blockbuster cinema’s fascination with 3D, and a bunch of things far more inscrutable that remain inscrutable still. To relay something of the experience, the film’s narrated in smoky, philosophical French aphorisms and switches in and out of 3D, always while playing with depth of field. Godard!
