Adieu au Langage (2014, Jean-Luc Godard)

How Godard's stylistic decisions have been changed since the beginning of French New Wave movement? The intellectual quotes, the cinematic references, Eisensteinian montage influences, Godard intertitles and the disoriented /confusing cuts are still the important parts of his style. While he tries to be innovative in using 3D film such as using the concept of superimposition not on the screen but on the lenses of the glasses, the desire to switch to video images become key element in creating his last cinematic text. In comparison with his fascinations in the earliest films,  his obsessions are not about Marxist ideology anymore.  His concerns are mostly focused on the reliability and the authenticity of  images and  sounds. The characterization, the cause and effect narrative and the resolution at the ending of the film are not the terms that Godard refers to while he makes his oeuvre. Review: Morad Sadeghi
