Film Socialisme (2010)
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard1h 42m2010
A symphony in three movements. Things such as a Mediterranean cruise, numerous conversations, in numerous languages, between the passengers, almost all of whom are on holiday... Our Europe. At night, a sister and her younger brother have summoned their parents to appear before the court of their childhood. The children demand serious explanations of the themes of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Our humanities. Visits to six sites of true or false myths: Egypt, Palestine, Odessa, Hellas, Naples and Barcelona.
Our read: Film Socialisme (2010) (2010) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, surreal drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
