Adieu au Langage

Adieu au Langage (2014, Jean-Luc Godard)

How Godard's stylistic decisions have been changed since the beginning of the French New Wave movement? The intellectual quotes, the cinematic references, Einsteinian montage influences, Godard intertitles, and the disoriented /confusing cuts are still 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 authenticity of images and sounds. The characterization, the cause-and-effect narrative, and the resolution at the end of the film are not the terms that Godard refers to while he makes his oeuvre. Review: Morad Sadeghi
